Part 5/8:
Alissa provided various examples from current trends in software development. One glaring illustration was the widespread use of platforms like Amazon S3, where databases are often exposed online without proper security measures. This practice compromises data integrity as developers bypass traditional access controls for an often unnecessary level of complexity.
Similarly, the rise of Smart Home systems was discussed. While they can enhance user convenience, these technologies often rely on numerous interconnected devices that can fail due to external dependencies such as internet connectivity. This complexity raises questions about the reliability of such systems compared to traditional setups.
