This year in JavaScript: 2018 in review and npm’s predictions for 2019

This study is adapted from my presentation npm and the Future of JavaScript. No data is perfect; if you have questions about ours you can read about the methodology used to gather this data.

npm has over 10 million users who download well over 30 billion packages every month. On an average Tuesday—npm’s busiest day—users download more than 1.3 billion packages of open source JavaScript. This gives us a lot of information about what JavaScript users are up to. On top of that data, in partnership with the Node.js Foundation and the JS Foundation we survey of over 16,000 developers to ask what they’re up to.

From these two sources, we’ve uncovered some insights about the makeup of the npm community, as well as information about what the community considers to be best practices. This will help you make your technical choices in 2019.

JavaScript is the world’s most popular programming language

It’s no news to anyone that JavaScript is incredibly popular these days. Stack Overflow’s 2018 developer survey has JavaScript as the most popular programming language (with fellow web languages HTML and CSS at the #2 and #3 spots). GitHub’s most recent Octoverse infographic ranks languages by the number of pull requests received, and JavaScript is the top there, too.

The total number of JavaScript developers is hard to estimate. Slashdata’s 2018 survey suggests there were 9.7M by the end of 2017 and growing quickly, meaning there are well over 10M at this point. npm’s own estimates suggest there are over 10M npm users, and we see similarly rapid growth. There are JavaScript developers who do not yet use npm, but as a percentage of all JavaScript developers they are quite small, possibly fewer than 10%.

The npm Registry contributes to the popularity of JavaScript

Without question, JavaScript’s popularity is driven by its ubiquity as the only language directly usable for developing web applications. However, a fascinating paper by Leo Meyerovich and Ariel Rabkin at Berkeley studied the factors contributing to programming language adoption and found that, overall, the availability of open-source libraries relevant to the task at hand was the most important factor in selecting a programming language.

Our own survey data support the conclusions of this study. The most common reason respondents gave for choosing JavaScript was the number of libraries available.

With over 836,000 libraries currently available, npm is the largest single collection of open-source libraries in the world, by a significant margin—although JavaScript’s tendency towards smaller libraries means this comparison isn’t entirely apples-to-apples. Regardless, this enormous reservoir of open source code means that the popularity of JavaScript and npm works both ways: the language gains popularity because of the Registry, and vice versa.

npm is used to build every kind of application

We asked users where the JavaScript they write is used. An overwhelming 93% of respondents said that they write code for the web, with a still-substantial 70% saying they write JavaScript that runs on servers, i.e., Node.js. However, many other application areas including Internet of Things (IoT), desktop applications, native mobile applications, and others saw substantial numbers of users, too.

This is a significant change for those of us who work at npm, Inc. and maintain the npm command-line tool. npm was invented to serve the needs of server-side app developers, and the needs of web developers are different. Becoming a majority-web platform has meant changing our priorities, which has ledto new features like package locking by default.

npm is essential to web development

When npm, Inc. started in 2014, a tree of a few dozen JavaScript packages was typical. These days, the average modern web application has over 1000 modules, and trees of over 2000 modules are not uncommon. In fact, 97% of the code in a modern web application comes from npm. An individual developer is responsible only for the final 3% that makes their application unique and useful.

This is a huge success story for code reuse, for the strength of the npm community, and for open source in general. The time saved by not re-inventing the code in thousands of modules is saving millions of developers hundreds of millions of coding-hours.

npm has focused on security in 2018

To a great many developers, npm has simply become the way you build a website. This is a responsibility we take seriously. In our survey, 77% of developers said they were concerned about the quality and security of the open source libraries they used, and a worrying 52% said the tools currently available were inadequate. We went into more depth on these results in our post Attitudes to Security in the JavaScript community earlier this year.

In April, we announced that we acquired ^Lift Security and their product, the Node Security Platform. Today, the NSP is integrated directly into npm, and every install of npm includes security audits that notify users if they are installing insecure modules. We also furnish tools to easily correct these vulnerabilities by automatically installing secure versions of their modules. In addition, users of npm Enterprise and paid npm Organizations users receive notifications of embargoed vulnerabilities not yet publicly disclosed.

The demographics of npm users

The basic demographics of our survey respondents are covered in our methodology post, but there are several important facts worth highlighting:

1. We are mostly new. 25% have been using JavaScript for less than 2 years, and 51% have been using npm for less than 2 years. This is a side effect of the community doubling in size in that time!

2. We are mostly self-taught. 69% of npm users mostly taught themselves JavaScript, with the next highest being 22% who learned on the job.

We don’t just write JavaScript. People who use npm aren’t always strictly JavaScript developers—30% each report writing Java, PHP, and Python, and smaller numbers of lots of other languages.

We don’t just work at “tech” companies. 55% of npm users describe themselves as working at a company that wouldn’t be considered a “tech” company.

There are also some ways that npm users don’t differ from the general population of software developers, which is itself interesting. For example, npm users work at every size of company, in roughly the same proportion as those companies exist. JavaScript isn’t a “big company” or a “small company” tech. npm users also are evenly distributed across every industry, as well as other demographics such as age and education level.

Everybody would like less tooling

JavaScript in 2018 is somewhat notorious for requiring a lot of tooling to get going, which is quite a reversal from the situation in 2014, when Node.js was considered an “everything included” framework. Today, most developers wouldn’t consider Node to be a framework at all. True to that, all of our survey respondents would like to see less tooling, less configuration required to get started, and better documentation of the tools that do exist. But what tools?

We went in-depth into the popularity of JavaScript frameworks in our “State of JavaScript Frameworks” series (part 1, part 2, part 3) earlier this year. We won’t reiterate all the findings of that analysis, but rather dive into a few updates of what’s changed in the 9 months since then.

As a reminder, it’s important to understand the “share of registry” metric we are using here: a “flat” graph in this case means strong growth, just not growth relative to the growth of the registry, which is always growing quickly.

React’s growth has slowed

React continues to dominate the web scene. Over 60% of npm’s survey respondents say they are using React, and it has grown further since then. However, that growth in 2018 has been slower than in 2017.

Angular downloads have stayed flat

The two major flavors of Angular combined have stayed roughly flat in terms of market share.

Ember’s popularity has rebounded

In a very unusual phenomenon, Ember’s popularity, which appeared to be declining, has continued a strong rebound. By September, more than twice as many developers were using Ember as at the beginning of the year. We’re going to keep a close eye on this story, but we think Ember’s resurgence is part of the explanation for the slowdown in React.

Vue’s strong growth has continued

Vue was already growing quickly and that continued in 2018. Many Vue users report that they picked it over React because in their opinion it’s easier to get started while maintaining extensibility. Our current theory is that React’s growth has been slowed by many newer users picking Vue.

GraphQL continues hyper-growth

GraphQL, tracked by its most popular client library Apollo, continues to explode in popularity. We think it’s going to be a technical force to reckon with in 2019.

Transpilers rule, led by Babel—and a surprise: TypeScript

Babel is familiar to any React user as the tool used to transpile React’s next-generation JavaScript into the currently-supported JavaScript standards. In line with React’s 60% market share, 65% of npm users report using Babel. (It also has uses outside of the React ecosystem.)

Something of a surprise, however, was TypeScript, with 46% of survey respondents reporting they use Microsoft’s the type-checked JavaScript variant. This is major adoption for a tool of this kind and might signal a sea change in how developers write JavaScript. We are definitely going to be asking more questions about TypeScript usage in the next version of our survey.

npm’s predictions for 2019

It’s always difficult to make predictions about an ecosystem as huge, varied, and fast-changing as JavaScript, but our data has led us to make a few predictions for 2019 that we think we can commit to.

1. You will abandon one of your current tools. Frameworks and tools don’t last in JavaScript. The average framework has a phase of peak popularity of 3–5 years, followed by years of slow decline as people maintain legacy applications but move to newer frameworks for new work. Be prepared to learn new frameworks, and don’t hold on to your current tools too tightly.

2. Despite a slowdown in growth, React will be the dominant framework in 2019. 60% market share for a web framework is unheard-of, and that’s partly because React isn’t a full framework, just part of one. This allows it to flexibly cover more use-cases. But for building a web app in 2019, more people will use React than anything else, and that will result in a big advantage in terms of tutorials, advice, and bug fixes.

3. You’ll need to learn GraphQL. It might be too early to put GraphQL into production, especially if your API is already done, but 2019 is the year you should get your mind around the concepts of GraphQL. There’s a good chance you’ll be using them in new projects later in the year and in 2020.

4. Somebody on your team will bring in TypeScript. 46% adoption implies that TypeScript is more than just a tool for enthusiasts. Real people are getting real value out of the extra safety provided by type-checking. Especially if you’re a member of a larger team, consider adopting TypeScript into your 2019 projects.

Stay tuned

One prediction we’re very confident in making is that this community will continue to rapidly grow and expand the capabilities of JavaScript. As it grows, we’ll be documenting new trends and sharing our insights with the community. You can follow along by subscribing to our weekly newsletter and following us on Twitter.

Securing open source: a brief look at dependency management

Taking full advantage of all that IT automation and orchestration have to offer frequently involves combining IT infrastructure automation with in-house application development. To this end, open source software is often used to speed development. Unfortunately, incorporating third-party software into your application means incorporating that third-party software’s vulnerabilities, too.

Scanning for, identifying, and patching open source dependencies in an application’s codebase is known as dependency management, and it’s increasingly considered a critical part of modern development. A recent report found that 60% of open source programs audited had a vulnerability that’s already been patched. With 96% of all code using open source libraries, this is a problem that impacts everyone.

There are many dependency management products available; too many to list in a single blog post. That said, we’ll look at some examples of well-known dependency management products that fall into three broad categories: free, open source software; commercial software with a free tier; and commercial software without a free tier.

Some dependency management products rely on open source vulnerability lists (the most famous of which is supplied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]). Some products are commercial, and use closed databases (often in combination with the open source ones). Let’s take a look at the diversity of choices available.

Free, Open Source Software

Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is more of a meta project, or online community, than an individual product. There are currently four flagship OWASP projects, and they’re all useful to any organization developing their own software, or engaging in IT automation.

OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is described as “an open source web application security scanner.” Essentially, it’s a proxy server that can manipulate all traffic traversing it. This includes the ability to manipulate HTTPS streams.

OWASP Web Testing Environment Project is basically a bunch of penetration testing tools packaged as a live CD, virtual machine (VM), cloud instance, or more.

OWASP Offensive Web Testing Framework (OWTF) is a suite of tools for penetration testers. There are a great many plug-ins available.

OWASP Dependency Check is exactly what it sounds like. Billing itself as “a software composition analysis utility,” it’s a dependency management product that supports scanning code written in Java and .NET, with experimental support for Ruby, Node.js, and Python. There’s also some limited support for C/C++ if using autoconf or cmake.

Retire.js, despite generally being used as a plug-in, deserves a mention. Retire is an example of a very narrowly focused tool: It scans websites and web-based applications for JavaScript and Node.js vulnerabilities.

Retire is free, and has been known to show up as a plug-in in web browsers, proxies, and as part of larger tools like OWASP. Retire has become quite popular as a web browser plug-in, in part because it offers passive scanning of websites as you browse, but also because of the extensive suite of scanning options that can be used.

Bundler-audit is another tightly focused dependency management product. In this case, bundler-audit is aimed at Ruby developers. For quite some time Ruby wasn’t widely supported by other dependency management products; bundler-audit is a good example of how open source projects tend to emerge to fill these gaps.

Commercial Software with a Free Tier

Greenkeeper is a fairly popular dependency management product, offering both free and paid tiers. The free tier is aimed at open source projects. Greenkeeper is popular in large part because it can be configured to update dependencies automatically.

Many dependency management applications won’t update dependencies at all, only providing alerts to developers, but otherwise requiring manual intervention. The reason for this caution is usually typically some form of “Don’t incorporate things you don’t understand, or haven’t tested, into your software.” To be able to address these concerns, Greenkeeper is capable of running npm tests using the new vulnerabilities before committing the changes.

OSSIndex and Nexus are both put out by Sonatype. OSSIndex and Nexus are good examples of the contrast between dependency management that uses entirely open and public vulnerability databases (OSSIndex), and dependency management that uses proprietary tools and sources (Nexus). Both are put out by the same vendor, and both have had their performance well characterized by numerous reviewers.

Npm deserves a mention, as well. Npm started life as the Node Security Project (NSP), and has grown into an enterprise dependency management product with a free for open source” tier. While narrowly focused on JavaScript, it’s achieved widespread adoption.

Synk, Hakiri, FOSSA, and Gitlab are other popular examples of commercial dependency management products that offer a free tier.

Commercial Software Without a Free Tier

Whitesource is a highly rated commercial dependency management product known for the diversity of development languages it supports. In addition to the standard publicly available vulnerability databases, Whitesource also tracks security advisories that are more expansive than Mitre/CVE, as well as project-specific bug trackers.

Synopsys BlackDuck is an example of software in the “pricing is not publicly available” class of products that has a dependency management component. BlackDuck can perform open source discovery through a number of methods ranging from scanning source code to scanning file systems. It can also perform dependency management, snippet matching, binary analysis and more. BlackDuck also has some automation capabilities.

Veracode, jFrog , Checkmarx, and SourceClear are other popular examples of commercial products that either are dependency management solutions, or offer that as part of a broader product. None of the products in this category are known to have a free tier.

Something for Everyone

Network automation alone can be a significant development project, but infrastructure automation is frequently only the beginning. IT automation happens layer upon layer. Once one system is automated, it’s frequently ignored from then on, forgotten in the rush to automate the next system, and to solve the next problem.

Once IT infrastructure is automated, the next step is orchestrating all of those automations to deliver self-service IT—also known as cloud computing. And once IT infrastructure has achieved cloud levels of orchestration, it becomes trivial to integrate applications with the infrastructure upon which they execute.

Layer upon layer of automation, integration, and dependency build up over time. But all software must be patched, especially the software we forget is even there. Fortunately, with such a diversity of dependency management products available, there’s something for everyone, no matter the size of the project you’re working on. This is important, because for IT automation to be successful it must be built on usable, user-friendly tooling.

Different tools are needed for different stages of a project’s lifecycle. The software that boosts your efficiency when your project has three developers is going to look a lot different from the software that keeps your project humming when you have 3,000.

Introducing Salus: How Coinbase scales security automation

By Julian Borrey & Ryan Sears

Security at Coinbase is a top priority, and we’re always working to make sure our customers’ information and assets are completely protected at every corner. Many of the software security issues we hear about today come from problems that, in hindsight, could have been easily prevented, like outdated dependencies and obvious anti-patterns. Code-review processes are a standard part of many engineering teams, but engineering teams are always trying to move faster and humans can occasionally miss some issues.

Introducing Salus

At Coinbase, we use a combination of human-driven code reviews and automated scans to ensure all our production deployments are as secure as possible — and when the right tools don’t exist to help us do the work we need to, we build them. One of those tools that we recently built is called Salus, a docker container that decides which security scanners to run, coordinates their configuration, and compiles the output into a single report. And today we’re open sourcing it on our Github for other teams to use too.

All software companies leverage open source software, and common languages and frameworks often have security scanners which can tremendously improve security. For example, for Ruby projects, bundle-audit can alert you of known vulnerabilities in the libraries you are using and for Rails, Brakeman will do AST level analysis to identify possible RCEs, SQL injections and more. Tools like these help us to ship faster, and we are tremendously grateful for these open source efforts. It was in this spirit that Coinbase started its open source fund, a token of gratitude for this type of community-oriented work.

To use these tools, a common initial deployment pattern for a security team is to include the scanner into the repository’s test suite. The continuous integration (CI) pipeline will execute both the project’s tests and the scanner. If there is a security issue, the build will fail and the developer can investigate the build logs to identify what needs to improve in their pull request.

However, this strategy quickly fails at company scale where there can be hundreds of repositories, each with their own security scanning configurations. Updating a scanner, or introducing a new scanner, will then require updating every project and quickly you have an O(n) problem. This is where our new tool Salus — named after the Roman goddess of safety — can make a difference.

Salus coordinates security scanning across all the services we deploy at Coinbase. It helps us enforce security policies for each change made to a codebase and ensures there is a quick feedback loop with the developer about potential vulnerabilities.

Architecture of the Salus container

How it works

During each CI build, the repository source code is volumed into the Salus container and Salus begins executing. An individual scanner might conduct static analysis, dependency checks, anti-pattern (e.g. grep) checks, or anything else that improves security.

To update a scanner or experiment with new scanners, we update the Salus container. Since each CI build pulls and runs the latest container, all builds immediately inherit these changes. If issue are found, the build fails and the scanner’s output is shown to the developer immediately so that they can self service their fix.

###### Salus Scan v1.0.0 for engineering/proxy ######

BundleAudit => passed

PatternSearch => failed

Forbidden pattern in public/offline.html:204:

We are currently offline -

status page

Use `link_to('', target: '_blank')` for rendering links so that the appropriate security features can be applied.

overall => failed

Salus also compiles reports about the results of each scanner and which dependencies are being used by a project. At Coinbase, we consume these reports into our logging pipeline to allow us to quickly identify which projects might be using a package that recently had a vulnerability released and from there, we can efficiently move into incident response mode.

Screenshot of Kibana displaying the results of Salus scans.

Salus can be run out of the box with strong default configuration but also support powerful customization to ensure that you can pick which scanners will run, which scanner will fail builds when finding issues, and where to send reports. We use this functionality at Coinbase so that we can enforce a global security policy for all projects, but also apply special configuration at the repository level if a certain project needs it.

For local customization, multiple configuration files can be concatenated. For example, if a project’s dependency is carrying a CVE with no available patch and we have confirmed that the vulnerability is not exploitable, we can use a local configuration file to ignore this concern.

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/repo coinbase/salus --config "https://salus-config.internal.net/salus-global.yaml file://local-salus-config.yaml"

Pointing to remote configuration files also allows a security team to introduce new security policies into an organization and identify where there are gaps without failing builds and surprising developers. A scanner can run in soft mode, Salus will provide data on repos that are not compliant, and then those projects can be patched before enforcing a new, higher global security policy.

Salus currently runs the following checks:

CVE checks for Ruby gems and Node modules via BundleAudit and NSP respectively.

Brakeman for Ruby on Rails vulnerabilities.

Reports which Ruby gems, Node modules, Go packages and Python packages are used by the repo.

Pattern matching on regular expressions of your choice — for example, this could look for the use of poor cryptographic primitives or potentially dangerous code like React’s dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Try the tool

If you manage many repositories in your infrastructure, or want a single command to run all relevant scanners on your codebase, you may want to consider running Salus during your test suite. Salus is an important tool to us, and we plan to expand it over time to cover more languages and types of static analysis. If you have feature requests for Salus, or would like to discuss use cases, please see our repository.

Coinbase works hard to provide the most-secure cryptocurrency services in the world, and we’re building and creating highly empowered development environments. If you’re passionate about building security solutions and want to join our team, please take a look at our open careers. We’re hiring for a Application Security Engineers, and many more positions across the board. Get in touch.

Cloud Computing Application Security

What is the importance of cloud application security for your business?

There is no denying the fact that major transformations are happening in organizations these days due to the emergence of technology. To reduce IT operational expenditure, various organizations are opting for cloud computing applications for security purposes. In this era of digital transformation, organizational infrastructure must possess cloud-based applications as it will protect and address potential threats that may hamper an organization’s productivity.

What is cloud computing application security?

Cloud computing application refers to the process or applications that help in protecting a company’s data and information from malicious attacks. It also provides organizations flexibility in migrating their data to third-party hosting providers.

As businesses are getting more inclined towards digital transformation, they are making cloud security their priority. In case they failed to do so, they may become a victim of cyberattacks, which may give a blow to their financial and reputational goals. These days cyber - attacks are getting very prominent, as malicious actors are hacking companies’ huge information and then demanding huge ransoms in return. So, to protect themselves from these cyber attackers, an organization must install a cloud computing application security software.

Thus, from the above facts, it has become evident that the advantages of cloud computing application security cannot be undermined and it should be on the top of the organization’s priority list if they wish to run their business smoothly.

Though this software provides effective protection against DDoS attacks, one must be cautious enough at the time of its installation as there are certain types of security risks facing cloud applications, some of them are mentioned below:

1. Misconfiguration: This is one of the most common risks associated with cloud applications. It occurs when a user unknowingly or accidentally enables access to some external data, which certain servers are not privileged of doing. Therefore, it becomes easy for attackers to exploit organization data to their benefit.

2. Insecure data sharing: Every organization has its own critical and confidential data stored on its servers or cloud storage applications. May a time, employees share this data at a high frequency, without taking into concern the security factor, thus becoming vulnerable to attackers.

3. account hijacking: With the evolution of technology, even the abilities of hijackers have also developed over some time. Account hijacking occurs when hackers steal the account credentials of an organization and then get access to their critical information.

4. Ill-equipped staff: Certain times, due to some financial constraints, organizations fail to hire expert staff who can manage their security issues effectively. Even at times, they are not in a position to upgrade their existing skills through training or workshops. This allows attackers to exploit their information.

5. Insufficient access control: Companies working in hybrid mode are more prone to outside attack if they failed to devise a perfect governance policy about server access and control.

6. compliance risk: Companies must adhere to data compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, and GDPR. Failing to do so may land them in trouble and could cost them a lot of money. They must ensure authenticity at their workplace and make sure that each data is fully compliant.

7. Data Loss: Maintaining proper data management system is very much crucial for companies because a slight alteration in data access may lead them to great trouble. There must be a password protection system to keep the data secure.

8. Employee negligence: At times, when everything is in place and in compliance with all the system regulations, employee negligence poses a major threat to an organization’s security system as hackers took advantage of employees who unintentionally circulate company-sensitive information.

9. Outdated firewall: An organization must keep on updating its security system on regular basis to prevent its critical information from being exposed to hackers. A cloud firewall would prove effective in overcoming this situation. Therefore, one must not ignore the importance of cloud application security.

10. Unsecure APIs: Any interaction in cloud-based applications is done via APIs, so it is very much important for an organization to include API protection in their risk management strategy.

How cloud application security risks can affect businesses

With the onset of the pandemic, the number of cyberattack cases has increased widely across the globe. The reason is the hybrid model of work culture. This has allowed hijackers to get access to a company’s account details, which they can use for their benefit. No doubt, cloud application security risk is a major threat to businesses not only in terms of financial loss, but it may be turned out to be an emotional setback for them. It can damage their brand reputation or may even lead to the permanent closure of their business.

So, if you are looking forward to installing a cloud application security system in your organization, you must contact Maisha Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Their team of highly qualified professionals will help you in overcoming all your queries and risk associated with the same.

New Post has been published on Cloudlight

New Post has been published on https://cloudlight.biz/former-u-s-mental-health-chief-leaves-google/

Former U.S. Mental Health Chief Leaves Google

Sixteen months after leaving the USA National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for Google’s health sciences division, psychiatrist Tom Insel is the move again. The former NIMH director, who left Google on May five, is beginning his own employer. Insel’s organization, referred to as Mindstrong will try to infer a person’s intellectual-health repute by using analyzing the manner they use smartphones.

Insel stepped down as NIMH director in December 2015 which will begin a mental-health software called Verily inside Google’s Life Sciences group. One of the department’s desires overlaps with that of Mindstrong’s: Verily intends to build tools, that could consist of phone apps or PC packages, that can recognize characteristics of intellectual contamination the usage of a method called “virtual phenotyping”.

The method analyses elements which include a consumer

Word desire in conversation, voice styles when speaking to digital assistants, their physical movements and vicinity records to determine their state of mind. If a telephone could apprehend when its proprietor became feeling suicidal, for instance, it may doubtlessly interfere by means of imparting assets or alerting others.

Insel says that Mindstrong takes a comparable approach to accumulating mental-fitness information. The organization’s co-founders encompass Richard Klausner, a former director of America National Cancer Institute, and Paul Dagum, who holds patents on at least three digital phenotyping methods.
