API Security: Validating Auth and Access with Traffic Simulation Starts with Behavior
Security breaches rarely begin with a hidden zero-day exploit or a complex web of escalated hacks. They often start in very simple ways – an internal team member is breached, a permission is misconfigured, an overly permissive API endpoint is overlooked, or a JWT simply doesn’t expire. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and tools that enable different software systems to communicate and exchange data, making them essential in modern software development.
Fix Vulnerabilities Faster: Puppet's Advanced Patching Solution
Break down patching silos and remediate vulnerabilities faster with Puppet. Most CVEs sit unaddressed for weeks, even after your scanner picks them up. Vulnerability Remediation in Advanced Patching (a Puppet Enterprise Advanced exclusive) gives Security and Ops teams an easy-to-use dashboard for finding, fixing, and reporting on vulnerabilities. No more tossing CVEs over the fence. No more finger-pointing when things go wrong. Just swift, efficient vulnerability management.
Looking beyond dev productivity to increase speed ft. Brian Guthrie of Justworks
Speed isn't just about developer productivity—it's about market dominance. Rob sits down with Brian Guthrie, Director of Engineering at Justworks and former ThoughtWorks consultant, to explore why lead time from conception to production should be your organization's north star metric.
Kubernetes Clusters Break in the Weirdest Ways
If you’ve ever spent hours chasing a weird issue in your Kubernetes cluster, you’re in good company.

Being on-call at incident.io
At incident.io, we are building a product that our users rely on 24/7, all year round. This means it is crucial that it is always working, and that is where our on-call rotation comes in. We believe that everyone should be on-call because it tightens the feedback loop between shipping new features and maintaining what we have, leading to more pragmatic engineering decisions.
Stream AWS Metrics to Grafana with Last9 in 10 minutes
It’s 2:47 AM and your Lambda functions are timing out. API response times are spiking. You’re flipping between the CloudWatch console, your APM tool, and your logs, trying to figure out what’s going wrong. CloudWatch has the metrics you need: CPU usage, memory pressure, and request rates — but connecting that data to what your app is doing takes time. The delay in stitching it all together slows down your incident response.
