Technical writing from Red Dot Industries engineers on database security, EU deployment practices, GDPR compliance, and production engineering.
01
Database SecurityUpcomingZero-Credential Database Access: Why SSH Tunnels Are a Security Anti-Pattern
Production databases are routinely accessed via SSH tunnels with shared credentials — a pattern that creates audit gaps, violates least-privilege, and makes compliance unnecessarily complex. Policy-based access control as a structural replacement.
02
EU ComplianceUpcomingGDPR-Native Deployment: Building for Compliance from the First Commit
Most teams treat GDPR as an afterthought. The result: architectural debt that compounds with every new service. A better approach: EU data residency, audit trails, and data processing agreements baked into the infrastructure layer from day one.
03
Deployment EngineeringUpcomingRollback Strategy in Production: From Hours to Seconds
Rollback time is a proxy for deployment confidence. When rollbacks take hours, teams push harder to avoid bad deploys — larger changesets, slower iteration, higher-risk releases. The infrastructure patterns that make rollbacks boring.
