What Is GDPR Compliance? Requirements and How to Meet Them

Aug 12, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Most teams can describe their GDPR obligations. Far fewer can produce the records that prove they met them. That gap is where GDPR compliance gets hard. The regulation reads as legal text, so it usually gets treated as legal work. About a third of it lands on the IT team instead: records of what you process, security controls that have to hold up, and deadlines measured in hours. Nobody asks for that evidence on a quiet week.

Cloud Incident Management: Process, Tools, and Practices

Aug 12, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How do you resolve an outage your organization has no authority to fix? A managed database drops into read-only mode and stops accepting writes. There's no host to reach, no configuration file to edit, and no restart command available to your engineers. Cloud incident management begins at that boundary, where the response depends on a support channel and a provider status page. Plenty of what you already know still applies here.

ACP: The Protocol Powering Kepler

Aug 12, 2026 By Chris Griffing In GitKraken
The secret sauce that powers Agentic Development Environments (ADEs) like Kepler is a little thing called the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). In this context, Kepler is the Client and harnesses like Claude Code and the Codex CLI are the Agents. We’re going to go over some of the details about how it works, how we use it at GitKraken, and how the protocol may be changing for the better.

The Architecture Question That Never Dies: From BPMN and M&A to MCP

Aug 12, 2026 By David Colebatch In Tidal
Twenty years ago at RMIT, I became preoccupied with a question that sounded technical but was really about corporate value: could you predict how difficult a company would be to acquire by looking at the shape of its APIs? It was 2006. I was completing Honours in a Bachelor of Applied Science in Software Engineering, and the brief for my research project was unusually open: find an impactful software research hypothesis that hasn’t been done before.

AI Is Outpacing Code Review. Here's How to Catch Up (Without Slowing Down)

Aug 12, 2026 By Stephanie Muñiz In PagerDuty
In a 2025 analysis spanning over 100 large language models, Veracode found that nearly half (45%) of AI-generated code causes known security issues and vulnerabilities. Novel risks are being introduced into your operations systems faster than humans can manage or review. At the same time, studies suggest that human review isn’t all that effective, especially beyond 400 lines of code. But AI-generated code isn’t inherently bad. It just doesn’t always work across your whole system.
