Episode #030: Blueprints, Reference Architectures, and Plans - Building Apps Securely

In this episode we chat blueprints, security patterns, reference architectures, and plans. Basically what we've seen in terms of the left hand side of the SDLC in establishing requirements early. This topic came about after reading the recent AWS Security reference architecture and grappling with implementation. We get pretty metaphor and analogy heavy in this one with some examples that may or may not make sense. Ultimately, these things work! We've seen them in the real world in a variety of samples, and hopefully you'll use them too
