Today we're rolling out a major upgrade to API Keys in Bindplane. You can now create up to 25 API keys per project, give each one a description, set an expiration date, and delete keys you no longer need. Under the hood, every key is now hashed with Argon2, the modern standard for credential storage. If you've been working around the old single-key limit by sharing one key across CI jobs, scripts, and teammates, this release is for you.

We’ve been building an AI agent that can take a production bug, find the root cause in captured traffic, write a fix, and validate it before a human reviews it. We call it Agent Factory. Last week we ran it on ourselves, against a real bug in our own production service. The first thing we did was get the workflow wrong.

This is Part 2 of the AI Software Factory series. In Part 1, we established that the Agile methodology is buckling under the weight of “elastic code.” When AI agents can generate functionality in seconds, two-week sprints and manual task management become organizational bottlenecks. We introduced the concept of the AI Software Factory: a shift from managing human tasks to managing business intent through a “Funnel of Increasing Trust.” But a factory requires infrastructure.

Data is almost always scattered across too many tools. Usually, if you want to see it all in one place, you're stuck building messy pipelines or paying for a warehouse you don't really want. SquaredUp is a window into all those tools. It lets you see what’s happening across your entire stack in real time without moving any of the data. Think of it as a universal translator that lets your tools talk to each other so you can stop the manual digging and just see the big picture.
