Summary:

The code changes in this pull request focus on updates to the documentation for the Janssen Project, a security-focused application. The changes cover various aspects of the project, including the installation process, the FIDO2 server, the persistence layer, and the Terraform provider.

From an application security perspective, the key highlights are:

Database and Caching Options: The changes remove references to Couchbase as a supported database and caching option, and instead focus on MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Memcached. This simplification of the supported technologies can help reduce the attack surface and complexity of the system.
FIDO2 Server: The documentation updates for the FIDO2 server component emphasize the use of secure communication (HTTPS), the implementation of the FIDO Metadata Service, and the support for various attestation formats. These are important security considerations for a FIDO2-based authentication system.
Persistence Layer: The changes to the persistence layer documentation highlight the security implications of database selection, scalability, and operational complexity. The ability to customize password hashing and comparison methods is also a valuable security-focused feature.
Terraform Provider: The update to the Terraform provider documentation removes the reference to Couchbase, further reinforcing the focus on more mainstream and secure database options.

Overall, the changes in this pull request appear to be focused on improving the security and maintainability of the Janssen Project by simplifying the supported technologies, enhancing the documentation, and addressing potential security concerns. These are positive steps for an application security engineer to review and approve.
