Introducing tfgen: configure your Terraform stacks using plain Go

Until recently, we extensively used HashiCorp's CDK for Terraform. Then they announced the end of its development. We didn't want to spend months migrating to a new ecosystem, but we needed a replacement. In the Infrastructure Team at Ably, we like Go. I wondered if there was an opportunity for something simpler.

Prompt Engineering for Manual Testers: How to Get Useful Output from AI Tools

You opened the AI assistant for the first time with a fair amount of hope. You typed "write test cases for the login page." You got eight test cases back in about three seconds. Valid login. Invalid password. Empty username. Empty password. The kind of list you could have written in your sleep, missing every scenario that actually matters for your product. So you closed the tool and thought: this is fine for the basics, but it does not really get testing. AI is overhated.

Starlette vs FastAPI: what FastAPI actually adds

FastAPI has become one of the most popular web frameworks among Python developers. It's so popular that it often overshadows the technologies it's built on. FastAPI is built on Starlette and Pydantic. Starlette handles the HTTP layer (routing, middleware, WebSockets, the ASGI plumbing) and Pydantic handles data validation. FastAPI is the layer on top that ties them together with type-driven parameter parsing, dependency injection, and automatic OpenAPI documentation.

IoMT vs. Consumer IoT vs. Industrial IoT: Why Healthcare Needs a Different Engineering Approach

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is not a subset of consumer IoT. It is not an extension of Industrial IoT either. It is a distinct engineering domain defined by clinical accuracy requirements, patient safety consequences, mandatory regulatory frameworks, and data privacy obligations. IoMT vs consumer IoT vs industrial IoT is therefore not a product categorisation exercise. It is the foundational question every connected medical device team must answer before writing a single line of firmware.
