Here's the Jira Data Center Alternative You're Looking For

Atlassian recently announced end of life for all their Data Center products, including Jira Data Center. That means every studio must evaluate and choose a new planning tool by Atlassian’s planned sunset date, March 28, 2029. If you’re looking for a new on-premises solution—because cloud options aren’t viable for your team—this blog explains how P4 Plan can meet, and often exceed, what Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud offer now.

CLI vs MCP: One Gives Speed, the Other Governance

CLI offers speed and developer freedom for API access; MCP provides centralized security, governance, and observability at enterprise scale. With CLI, credentials live on the developer's local machine and audit trails are shell-only — fast, but ungoverned. MCP adds authentication, centralized policy enforcement, and observability across all API calls, at the cost of some speed and higher token consumption. Kong's MCP Gateway is built for teams that need the governance trade-off without giving up too much velocity.#Shorts.

WSO2Con Opening Keynote: The Agentic Enterprise | Day 1

AI agents that never sleep are changing how businesses make decisions. Here's the full WSO2Con keynote on what that shift means for your organization. In this opening keynote from WSO2Con, the CEO walks through the transition from the digital era to what he calls the "agentic era" — where autonomous agents handle judgment calls across sales, marketing, and support. He's direct about the risks too: agents lack empathy, can make costly errors, and still need guardrails to operate safely at scale.

Anthropic Acquires Stainless. What's It Mean for AI Connectivity?

Every few months, a frontier AI lab makes a move that says the quiet part out loud: agents are only as useful as the systems they can reach. The latest example is Anthropic's acquisition of Stainless, the company behind the tooling that turns API specs into SDKs and MCP servers. Anthropic's own framing is direct. Agents need to connect to data and tools, and the path from an API to an agent-ready interface needs to get shorter. We agree. We've been making a version of this argument for two years.

How Headless Software Powers the Machine Internet

Software is going headless: the internet is shifting from GUIs built for humans to APIs, MCP servers, and CLIs built for machines and agents. Machines will consume the internet at a scale 1,000x greater than humans — more agents will exist than people, and programmatic access moves far more data than any click ever could. This transition requires API and AI infrastructure capable of moving terabytes at a scale never built before. Kong provides the connectivity layer for this machine internet — the infrastructure between agents, LLMs, and the services they consume.#Shorts.

Greenfield Application Development Starts With Better Test Data

When teams start a greenfield application, they often face a simple problem with big consequences. They need to build and test fast, but they do not have production data to work with yet. That gap can slow down development, delay testing, and push teams into risky manual workarounds. In my experience working with App Dev leaders, this is where synthetic data has a clear role. It is not the answer to every test data challenge.

WSO2 Accelerates Agentic Enterprise Adoption with New Agent Identity, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Expanded Delivery Partner Ecosystem

London, UK. 21st May 2026 - WSO2 today announced the expansion of its Agent Fabric platform, the introduction of a Forward Deployed Engineering model, and the scaling of its delivery partner ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of the agentic enterprise. Announced at the WSO2Con North America 2026, these initiatives strengthen WSO2's position as the infrastructure layer for the emerging agentic enterprise, where AI agents operate autonomously across applications, APIs, workflows, identities, and data.

Perforce ALM vs Jira: Which is Best for Your Needs?

Atlassian Jira is an issue tracking tool for agile workflows. Perforce ALM is an all-in-one Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution that manages requirements, tests, and issues. Which will work best for your needs? While software development teams often start with simple issue tracking, their priorities change as projects scale and products become more complex. Choosing the tool that matches your needs now and in the future is key.
