Why Java, Python, NodeJS, and Go Power 90% of all Cloud Workloads today — and How to Protect Them
This eBook explores how the internals of Java, Python, NodeJS, and Go have shaped the cloud landscape, powering 90% of modern cloud workloads. For CISOs, AppSec, and DevSecOps professionals, it offers an in-depth look at the inner mechanics of these languages, revealing key security considerations and practical strategies to protect them against today’s most sophisticated threats. Whether you're managing cloud environments or fortifying your defenses, this guide will help you understand the intricacies of each language and safeguard your cloud application like a ninja.
Python internals, the Orange Ninja, central to its power is CPython, creates a layer of abstraction between Python code and the machine it's running on.
Java internals, the Blue Ninja, central to its power is the JVM, isolating Java applications from the underlying OS infrastructure.
Node.js internals, the Purple Ninja, Node.js runtime does not directly interact with system hardware or OS-level processes; instead, it runs within the V8 engine’s virtual environment.
Go internals, the Red Ninja, Go runtime abstraction shields the internal workings of Go fromThe OS makes it challenging to gain insight into the actual behavior of the application.
