AI coding tools are no longer a novelty. From startups to enterprises, developers are using them to accelerate development, auto-generate tests, and build products faster than ever. Some engineering teams claim they’ve become up to 10x more productive with the right AI coding tool in their workflow. To get a real-world understanding of how these tools are being used, we hosted a community discussion with over 70 tech leaders—CEOs, CTOs, and engineering managers.

Managing API traffic comes down to two methods: rate limiting and throttling. Here's the key difference: rate limiting blocks requests once a set limit is reached, while throttling slows down or queues requests during traffic surges. Both methods help protect servers, ensure fair resource use, and maintain performance.

As cybersecurity takes the main stage, organizations face a significant challenge: how do you strike a balance between maintaining a high level of security and ensuring employees have enough data access to perform their jobs properly? Role-based access control (RBAC) is a solution that can support both of these goals, even as organizations are quickly scaling.

If you take a step back and think about today’s software development landscape, you could argue that documentation is just as important as the code itself. That’s because traditional documentation workflows — where documentation is manually updated, stored separately from code, and thus often falls out of sync — have started slowing teams down and leading to outdated or inconsistent information.

When was the last time your AI assistant confused a memo from the CEO with 'Game of Thrones' plot lines? Have you ever asked a chatbot a question, only to receive an answer that was not only wrong but hilariously outdated? Imagine asking about the latest iPhone model and getting a response detailing the iPhone 3G. We've all had moments where technology gives us a chuckle—until it's crunch time.

DreamFactory's GitHub repository turns 10 this month, marking a decade of innovation in API generation. To commemorate this milestone, we'll be launching our new MCP Server along with new Attribute Based Access Controls (ABAC) and a Command Line Interface (CLI) to help every organization make the leap into the AI era.

Over 70% of enterprise data is stuck in legacy systems - making automation a challenge. DreamFactory and Zapier solve this by connecting outdated databases to modern tools, enabling businesses to unlock their data and automate workflows.

CI/CD performance testing seamlessly integrates performance validation directly into your continuous integration and deployment pipeline. Instead of treating performance as an afterthought, this approach makes it an automated part of your development workflow. By testing performance with every build, you can catch issues early, ensure consistent performance across releases, and maintain high quality standards for your application.

Man-in-the-middle attacks are elegantly mitigated in TLS, with TLS1.3 introducing more robust encryption protocols and a streamlined handshake process that significantly reduces the vulnerability to these types of attacks. By employing stricter encryption standards and eliminating outdated cipher suites, TLS 1.3 enhances security measures to effectively counter potential interception and unauthorised data decryption.
