This DoS goes loop-di-loop – preventing DoS attacks in your Node.js application | Alon Mureinik

Описание: In this insightful session, “This DoS Goes Loop-di-Loop – Preventing DoS Attacks in Your Node.js Application,” Alon Mureinik dives into one of Node.js’ most overlooked vulnerabilities: its susceptibility to Denial-of-Service attacks. Because Node.js runs on a single thread, even small coding mistakes can open the door to severe performance issues and service outages.

Alon breaks down how the event loop works, highlights common pitfalls that make applications vulnerable, and demonstrates practical best practices to keep your Node.js services resilient. From blocking operations to inefficient patterns and unsafe assumptions, this talk provides developers with actionable strategies to secure their applications and maintain smooth, uninterrupted performance.

Whether you're building small services or large-scale systems, this session will help you identify risks early and apply the right countermeasures to protect your Node.js environment.
