You can now ask your coding agent to set up AppSignal in your application. Give it a prompt, let it follow the installation instructions, and watch a checklist fill in as data starts arriving. Installing AppSignal was already straightforward, but it still meant checking your environment, adding the right integration, creating an app, handling credentials, and confirming that telemetry arrived. These are useful checks, but they don't all need your attention.

In the life sciences industry, where breakthroughs in research and healthcare are fueled by data, data silos can be a big problem. Data silos might be caused by things like legacy systems, departmental divisions, disparate data formats, or lack of interoperability standards. Data silos can manifest at any point in the product lifecycle and make it hard for the right people to access and use the information they need, when they need it.

Rails 8.0 shipped November 7, 2024 and requires Ruby 3.2.0+. Headline features: a built-in authentication generator, Solid Queue/Cache/Cable (database-backed, no Redis), Kamal 2 + Thruster deployment, Propshaft, and production-ready SQLite. Rails 8.1 (October 2025) is the current release; Rails 8.0 now gets security fixes only, through November 2026. This guide walks through each Rails 8 feature with the commands and defaults you’ll use.

*Kong API Gateway 3.16 is here: runtime log-level tuning, per-consumer plugin configs, credit/usage-based request blocking with the new Entitlement Enforcement plugin, and FIPS 140-3 compliance for regulated industries - all built for live production debugging and governance, no downtime or custom code required.*

At Bitrise, we continually invest in security best practices to ensure that our customers' data stays safe and secure. As part of this ongoing effort, we are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our 2026 SOC 2 Type II assessment, with no exceptions recorded in the final report. The report covers the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 and is valid until June 30, 2027.

We're pulling back the curtain on a project we've been working on for some time now: the next evolution of the Kong brand. You may have noticed some changes recently to our site, swag, or socials. But today it's official: we're announcing Kong's rebrand and introducing our new mascot, Karl. Without further ado, let's dig in. Along the way, we'll give some insight into the "why" behind it all, while looking back at how things have changed since the early days of Kong. We were the API connectivity company.

AI agents are proliferating faster than most institutions can govern them and the primary challenge is quickly becoming an "accountability gap." Disconnected pilots rarely scale into accountable, auditable operations. The financial services industry is currently at a tipping point: banks must bridge the gap between initial AI enthusiasm and operational reality.

Over the past few decades of digital transformation, organizations have accumulated separate tools for separate jobs: RPA for UI automation, BPM for workflow management, iPaaS for API integrations, and other point solutions. These investments have delivered undeniable productivity gains. But they've also created challenges: systems that don’t talk to each other, processes that break across integrations, and IT teams that spend more time maintaining the technology rather than innovating with it.

AI coding tools are becoming increasingly capable of writing software that compiles, passes tests, and solves real engineering problems. But generating working code is only part of what these systems now do. When an AI assistant creates a Node.js project, it may also influence decisions about: Those decisions can survive much longer than the generated code itself.

The forecasting model is often the smaller part of the job. In production, what makes predictive analytics in real estate reliable is the infrastructure around it: governed historical data, unified business entities, feature pipelines, model serving, monitoring, and integration into the systems where people work.
