Securing a (Virtual Private) Server

In 2019 I moved various web-apps I have created to a VPS (hosted by OVH).

Description: >
  Constructs a managed IAM policy to deploy a serverless project.

  This template assumes the stack is being deployed in the current region and account.
  You can then attach this policy to other IAM objects, such as users or roles.

  Based on the work done in: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/issues/1439

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

So you're curious in learning this new thing called (Functional) Reactive Programming (FRP).

Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:

Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.
