In 2018, AWS introduced its initial lineup of Graviton processors, and since then, they have continued to evolve and improve. The latest iteration of Graviton processors showcases impressive enhancements, including “25% improved compute performance, up to double the floating-point performance, and up to double the speed for cryptographic workloads when compared to the previous generation…” You can note they don’t compare to Intel or AMD. Thats because in a brute force workload usually the x86 processors win out....

Here is the app if you just want to shorten some links SRTL. It was the shortest domain I could grab it stands for Short Link or at least thats what I’m telling myself. I recently saw a post on Medium about RocksDB that sparked my curiosity. It’s a high performance key value store using a LSM tree.

The default golang image is great! It allows you to quickly build and test your golang projects. But it has a few draw backs, it is a massive 964 MB even the slimmed down alpine based image is 327 MB, not only that but having unused binaries and packages opens you up to security flaws. LETS GET BUILDING! Multi Stage Scratch Image Multi-Stage Using a multi-stage image will allow you to build smaller images by dropping all the packages used to build the binaries and only including the ones required during runtime....

Needless to say I didn’t have a lot of confidence that my certs-csrs-keys all matched up. So here is a quick way to validate you have the correct key-cert-csr combos....
