AI is accelerating how teams build and ship software, but validating quality is getting harder, not easier. More AI-generated code means more to test, more API drift to catch, and more documentation that falls behind. The work is growing faster than teams can keep up.

AI agents move fast. Securing them shouldn't slow you down. Kong and Noma are partnering to change that. This program delivers high-quality, reliable integrations providing real business value for customers..

Trigger warning: this one is about Java, authentication, and Docker Compose files. If that is not your thing, I am sorry, but they are part of life and they are honestly not that hard to work with. Everything here is open source on our GitHub repo, so you can follow along. Recording an authenticated Java flow, replaying it, hitting the dreaded 403, and fixing it with a proxymock recommendation.

We’ve gotten used to understanding our applications through signals, summaries, and traces. Tiny little bits of information about how the app really works. Not because that’s the best way to do it, but because it’s been too hard to get the real thing. The real information exists. It’s on the network. How people called your app and what your code did. What other systems it called, the database queries it made, and the result sets that came back.

MTTR is the metric that tells you how long your users wait after something breaks. According to Splunk and Cisco’s Hidden Costs of Downtime 2026 report, unplanned downtime now costs organisations an average of $15,000 per minute. Across the Global 2000 companies, the aggregate annual cost has surged to $600 billion, a 50% increase in just two years. Engineering teams shipping to production multiple times a day face a simple reality: incidents aren’t a matter of if.
