Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
Automating Agreement Workflows with Kong Konnect and Docusign for Developers
Digital agreements are at the heart of many critical business processes. As companies modernize their technology stacks and adopt API-driven architectures, integrating agreement workflows directly into applications has become increasingly important. Traditional agreement processes were slow and heavily manual. Documents were often created in office tools, shared through email, printed, signed physically, and stored across multiple systems.
A Better Streams Model for JavaScript Is Taking Shape
If you’ve worked with Node.js in production, you already know that streams are not a niche feature. They are part of the foundation. They power how data moves through systems, how I/O is handled, and ultimately, how applications scale. For years, that foundation has held up remarkably well. At the same time, many developers—junior and senior alike—have shared a similar feeling: while streams are powerful, they don’t always feel natural to work with.
Token Exchange at the Gateway
How OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange Reshapes Trust Between Services — and Why the API Gateway Is Exactly the Right Place to Enforce It OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange fundamentally alters how services establish trust. And the API gateway is the ideal location to enforce this new model. Modern applications don’t run as a single monolithic.
No More Static Secrets: Kong Expands Cloud-Native Authentication Support
How Kong Gateway 3.14 closes the consistency gap in IAM-based authentication across AWS, Azure and GCP — and what it means for your production deployments Enterprise security teams have clear requirements: no static credentials, no exceptions. Every service-to-service connection, whether it's Kong talking to databases, caches, or vaults, should authenticate using the same IAM-based identity model that governs the rest of their cloud infrastructure.
Beyond Static Routing: Modernizing API Logic with Conditional Policy Execution
Modern API architectures are no longer linear. A single request can traverse multiple layers of authentication, transformation, enrichment, and observability. As these flows grow more dynamic, the need for fine-grained control over when plugins execute becomes critical. For years, the standard approach to API Gateway configuration followed a strict hierarchical model: you applied a plugin to a Service, a Route, or a Consumer.
Use P4 MCP to ask code review questions | #perforce #codereview #mcp #p4
In this clip from LIMITLESS, our 2026 P4 Product Update, Patrycja (Trish) Tomiak-Gough, Chief Architect at Perforce, demonstrates how P4 MCP connects Claude with Perforce P4 Code Review to find a specific review, ask whether the change addresses a ticket, and a surprise trick question!

Android Studio and Xcode App Debugging With Breakpoints: How to From Zero
Breakpoints are useful for all kinds of debugging. But for iOS debugging, they’re critical. iOS often veers away from the typical top-to-bottom flow. At the same time, its heavy reliance on async/await can inadvertently lead to concurrency and race conditions. As devs, we need a way to stop the train before it goes too far in the wrong direction. This is what Xcode breakpoints are designed for.
Perforce's 2026 PHP Landscape Report Highlights a Growing Skills Gap with PHP
PHP continues to be a popular open source language for web applications and APIs, but fewer early-stage developers have PHP knowledge.
