Overview

The Top 10 is a map of where things actually go wrong. Reading it as categories rather than a checklist is what makes it useful.

In this lesson you will:

  • Recognise each category in real application code
  • Prioritise by exploitability and impact
  • Use it as a review lens rather than a checklist

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
