Many developers rely on traditional tools like Redis, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and ORMs due to familiarity, but there are newer alternatives that can improve performance and simplify workflows. 1. **Litefs**: A tool that enables SQLite in production with real-time replication across regions, allowing for global scaling with minimal latency, ideal for edge computing scenarios. 2. **Temporal.io**: A workflow engine that guarantees execution for background jobs, eliminating lost orders or stuck payments, and remembers everything even after crashes. 3. **DragonflyDB**: A drop-in replacement for Redis that is four times faster, capable of handling millions of requests per second with built-in horizontal scaling. 4. **sqlc**: A tool that generates type-safe Go/Postgres code directly from SQL, avoiding ORM complexities and runtime SQL errors. 5. **Benthos**: A tool for connecting Kafka, databases, APIs, and WebSockets using simple YAML configuration, supporting over 200 integrations. 6. **Earthly**: A CI/CD tool that combines Docker and Makefile for deterministic builds, ensuring reproducible builds and avoiding common CI pipeline failures.

Cybersecurity researchers at Zimperium zLabs have discovered a new variant of the GodFather Android malware that uses on-device virtualization to hijack legitimate mobile applications, primarily targeting banking and cryptocurrency apps. This malware installs a concealed host application that downloads a genuine version of the targeted app within a controlled environment, redirecting users to this manipulated version. It monitors user actions in real time, capturing sensitive information like usernames and passwords. The GodFather malware targets 484 applications globally, with a focus on 12 financial institutions in Turkey. It employs traditional overlay attacks and uses legitimate open-source tools to evade detection. The malware manipulates APK files, relocates malicious code, and utilizes Android’s accessibility services to deceive users into granting permissions. It also encodes critical information to complicate tracking efforts and transmits screen details back to attackers for real-time monitoring.
