I'm creating an app using React Native (using Expo, for what it's worth) and would like the app to be able to support donations via Apple Pay.

Expo's Stripe documentation includes a Snack that demonstrates how to support Apple Pay, and the documentation mentions that the Snack uses a Glitch server.

Furthermore, the Stripe documentation also seems to suggest that I need to create a web service to make things work ("For security reasons, your app can’t create these objects. Instead, add an endpoint on your server that...").

I had assumed that Apple Pay took care of these sorts of things behind the scenes and that payments would be processed by Apple's own servers. Do I really need to create a web service to support donations via Apple Pay?

I have my records stored in the Algolia index having a userID attribute associated with each. I want to perform a search such that the records visible to the user will be filtered such that the userIDs match. I can easily do this on the frontend using the instantsearch library and the userID stored in localStorage.

Problem with passing userID on the frontend
Anyone using the client can manipulate the Algolia request with different userIDs that will filter results relevant to those IDs. A security issue here. But as Algolia mentioned here frontend search can be upto 10x faster.

Solution using backend search
Can implement this such that a normal HTTP request is send to the backend with the relevant search parameters and filters and adding the userID in the backend. After that doing the search in the backend and sending the data back to the frontend using a HTTP response. Slower since it has go through multiple servers just to add the userID.

Question
I want to know if there is a still a workaround for this using frontend search and preserving security since speed is also important. I'm new to using Algolia and still not fully aware of what it is capable of.

Thanks.

Is it possible for AWS API Gateway to validate an HTTP API's incoming payloads before it executes the Lambda function, saving the expense of calling a Lambda function when the input is invalid?

I'm aware that the older REST API's can have their input validated by API Gateway, but I'm using HTTP APIs because they are lighter and 71% less expensive and fit my needs very well.

Any suggestions/workarounds very welcome.

I use Google sheet and app scripts to create mail merge and it works fine with name, email, and general text information.

I am adding a column with a pre-filled Google Form link, like this.

Gmail Mail Merge Template

Although the mail merge works fine, the link does not work. the email recipient cannot click on the Google form link with pre-filled information.

Recipient's Mail Merge Results

What I'd expect to see is a Google Form hyperlink in the email body and the email recipient can click on it and be directed to the Google form with pre-filled information.

Is there a way to include pre-filled information too?

Example of the Google sheet used for mail merge.

I am using TMS570LS3137 (DP84640 Phy). Trying to program UPD(unicast) using lwip to send 2MB of data. As of now i can send upto 63kb of data. How to send 2MB of data at a time. UDP support upto 63kb of transmission only, but in this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32512345/how-to-send-udp-packets-of-size-greater-than-64-kb#:~:text=So%20it's%20not%20possible%20to,it%20up%20into%20multiple%20datagrams. They have mentioned as "If you need to send larger messages, you need to break it up into multiple datagrams.", how to proceed with this?

but I need to make the same request a given number of times. E.g. for an endpoint:

I have a script that downloads larger amounts of data from an API. The script takes around two hours to run. I would like to run the script on GCP and schedule it to run once a week on Sundays, so that we have the newest data in our SQL database (also on GCP) by the next day.

I am aware of cronjobs, but would not like to run an entire server just for this single script. I have taken a look at cloud functions and cloud scheduler, but because the script takes so long to execute I cannot run it on cloud functions as the maximum execution time is 9 minutes (from here). Is there any other way how I could schedule the python script to run?

Thank you in advance!

Actually the question is about the capacity of a single instance of the Redis, regardless of the Memory size.

The reference said:

Redis can handle up to 2^32 keys, and was tested in practice to handle at least 250 million keys per instance. Every hash, list, set, and sorted set, can hold 2^32 elements. In other words your limit is likely the available memory in your system.

So regardless of the server's memory size, Can I create 4 "set" and fill them with almost 2^32 keys in a single instance of Redis? That means 4*(2^32) keys by total.

I added this artifact which is a war to my gradle project dependencies. I need to extend some classes, and use a modified servlet contexts from it.

I was expecting the war to be imported as is then I would use gradle tasks to manipulate to include the jars to dependencies, copy static resources to correct classpath etc. But gradle actually added a bunch of jars to dependency.

Im not sure if gradle scanned recursively all paths for jars and poms or probably just the jars under the WEB-INF/classes folder in the war. I can assume probably not the poms repositories as stated here.

Im I correct is assuming the jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder in the deflated war were not imported? its hard to tell as there are a lot of shared dependencies between my project and the war in question

Then whats the best way to declare a dependency on a war in the maven repo/jcenter if I need to extend and modify as I described at the top?

UPDATE:

I am now trying to use answer below and this solution https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-to-add-an-artifactory-war-as-a-gradle-dependency/19804/2 , This only worked after moving the directory with the copied jars outside the buildDir my build.gradle
