🔒 Prioritize Security in Your Applications!
In today’s tech landscape, safeguarding user data is paramount. This summary emphasizes critical security practices for managing authentication and database choices.
Key Recommendations:
-
Use Bcrypt for Passwords:
Always opt for bcrypt to hash passwords, steering clear of outdated methods like MD5 or SHA1 due to their vulnerabilities.
Example implementation:
go
hash, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword(
[]byte(password),
12
) -
Choose the Right Database:
For applications requiring complex queries and flexible schemas, PostgreSQL 16 with the pgx driver stands out. Benefits include:- In-built full-text search
- JSONB support for dynamic metadata
- Strong transaction handling
