Stop Guessing with OAuth: Understanding CI/CD

OAuth 2.0 is the leading open authorization framework that enables secure delegated access to protected resources. From traditional web apps and browser-based apps to native apps and desktop applications, OAuth allows client apps to grant access on a user’s behalf without exposing login credentials, enabling powerful third-party applications, custom data flows, and powerful user experiences. However, while OAuth is secure, it’s not always fast.

Your APIs are up, but did the payment go through?

If your challenger bank is built on composable core platforms like Mambu or Temenos, this one’s for you. Composable platforms enable API-first integration with modular services, letting you launch, adapt, and grow products quickly. That makes API health a top priority — and it shows in our State of API Reliability Report 2025 (we’ve pulled out the key fintech findings for APAC below).

Data Sovereignty Is Everyone's Problem

Data sovereignty isn’t just a niche consideration anymore – it’s a central requirement in everything from cloud computing and analytics to software development. The environment of 2025 is significantly different from that of 2015, and even more so from 2005. What was once a patchwork of guidance documents, data privacy laws, and local regulations has given way to massive EU-wide regulations, multinational frameworks, and a greater focus by users on digital identity.

Speeding up AI Coding Assistants using Deterministic Feedback

AI coding assistants are transforming the way developers approach software development by automating routine tasks and enhancing code quality. These tools leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide real-time code suggestions, auto-complete functions, and even debug existing code, making the development process faster and more accurate. Modern AI coding assistants integrate seamlessly with a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, including Java, Python, and C++.

Vibe coding with the incident.io API

Many, many years ago, I was a computer science major at the University of Illinois, hoping someday I’d be able to write code for a living. I started my career in QA hoping to learn the ins and outs of software development. But it turns out I wasn’t very good at coding. I was just good enough to get a role as a sales engineer, where all I had to do was write code that could hold together for 30 minutes in a demo.
