BigQuery MCP Server: Connect Google BigQuery to AI Agents Safely

Aug 20, 2026 By Nic Davidson In DreamFactory
A BigQuery MCP server lets AI agents like Claude query your Google BigQuery data through a standard protocol instead of ad-hoc integrations. Because BigQuery bills by bytes scanned, an unconstrained agent is not just a security risk but a budget risk: one careless full-table scan on a wide table costs real money. This guide covers what a BigQuery MCP server does, the three ways to set one up, and the cost and security controls that matter before you let an agent anywhere near your analytics data.

Utility API & AI Security: Exposing Data Without Exposing Control

Aug 20, 2026 By Kevin Hood In DreamFactory
Every utility is being pulled in two directions. Operations, engineering, and customer-facing teams all want data in modern applications: outage maps, field-service apps, asset-health dashboards, regulator reporting, and increasingly AI assistants that can answer questions about generation, load, or maintenance history. At the same time, the security team's job is to make sure none of that convenience becomes a path into systems that open spillway gates, trip breakers, or control pressure.

Stop API Breaking Changes: Schema Contracts Tutorial | DreamFactory

Aug 20, 2026 By DreamFactory | AI & Applications Data Gateway In DreamFactory
Someone adds a column. Six weeks later a consumer breaks. Schema Contracts are opt-in. Lock a table and you get a versioned hashed snapshot. Two knobs after that. Mode decides what promotes. None means no contract. Auto promotes additive drift and holds breaking. Strict holds everything for review. Runtime enforcement decides if the live API obeys the lock. Off is docs and drift only. Shape response strips extra fields. Strict also rejects writes that name a field you did not publish.

Every AI Agent Needs an Owner | DreamFactory Agent Control Plane

Aug 20, 2026 By DreamFactory | AI & Applications Data Gateway In DreamFactory
An agent in your stack reads tables and spends tokens. That has to land on a person, a department, a cost center. DreamFactory maps the agent onto an identity you already have: LDAP, OpenID Connect, SSO. Access and cost follow that person.

From Telemetry to Traffic

Aug 19, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
A metric says latency increased. A log says a request failed. A trace identifies the slow dependency. An APM agent points to the method. Manual instrumentation explains the business operation. Traffic capture shows the exact request and response that triggered it. Each layer answers a question the previous layer could not. Each also introduces a new cost, blind spot, and failure mode.

Reliability Engineering in the AI Era

Aug 19, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
Engineering leaders have been claiming to “shift quality left” for years but production remains stubbornly stuck out of reach of software engineers. The realm of production remains mysterious with tools no one has access to and UIs that wouldn’t make sense to engineers anyway. I’ve noticed a small but growing trend of large enterprises hiring Reliability Engineers instead of Site Reliability Engineers. Dropping one word looks cosmetic but I think it points to a much bigger change.
