Don't Just Monitor SLAs - Validate Them Automatically

Aug 20, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Service level agreements (SLAs) are the contractual backbone between customers and technology vendors, outlining expected service availability, performance metrics, and remedies like service credits when service providers fail to meet agreed-upon service levels. This service agreement assures both the technical quality as well as the service quality of the services provided, and underpins the value perspective of the client.

Zero Trust Architecture Needs Zero Guesswork

Aug 18, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
The Zero Trust model has fundamentally shifted how organizations secure their applications and infrastructure. Instead of assuming anything inside your network is safe, the Zero Trust security model requires continuous verification of every identity, every device, and every access request across the entire trust model, forcing users and devices to prove that they can access what they are trying to access.

The Silent API Killer: Data Coupling in Your Tests

Aug 13, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
In API testing, speed, accuracy, and confidence in test results are everything. Regardless of whether you're validating functionality, testing performance under load, or ensuring compliance with your security posture and standards, the ultimate goal is the same: catching problems before they reach production. But what if your tests are lying to you? Lurking beneath even the most sophisticated test suites is a subtle, pervasive threat: data coupling. Data coupling is a silent API killer that doesn't throw immediate errors or break builds in obvious ways.

Stop Guessing with OAuth: Understanding CI/CD

Aug 11, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
OAuth 2.0 is the leading open authorization framework that enables secure delegated access to protected resources. From traditional web apps and browser-based apps to native apps and desktop applications, OAuth allows client apps to grant access on a user’s behalf without exposing login credentials, enabling powerful third-party applications, custom data flows, and powerful user experiences. However, while OAuth is secure, it’s not always fast.

Data Sovereignty Is Everyone's Problem

Aug 8, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Data sovereignty isn’t just a niche consideration anymore – it’s a central requirement in everything from cloud computing and analytics to software development. The environment of 2025 is significantly different from that of 2015, and even more so from 2005. What was once a patchwork of guidance documents, data privacy laws, and local regulations has given way to massive EU-wide regulations, multinational frameworks, and a greater focus by users on digital identity.

Speeding up AI Coding Assistants using Deterministic Feedback

Aug 5, 2025 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
AI coding assistants are transforming the way developers approach software development by automating routine tasks and enhancing code quality. These tools leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide real-time code suggestions, auto-complete functions, and even debug existing code, making the development process faster and more accurate.

AI Agent Is Hitting Your APIs - Are You Ready?

Aug 1, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
It’s no longer theoretical – artificial intelligence has left research labs and entered production systems, generating a new breed of consumers – autonomous and intelligent agents. These autonomous AI agents are increasingly interacting with real-world APIs (application programming interfaces), which are sets of protocols and tools for building and integrating software applications.

Traffic Replay: Production Without Production Risk

Jul 29, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
The software and product life cycle is fraught with pitfalls and tradeoffs. While testing applications under production-like load is critical to ensuring the reliability, performance, and security of your data storage and software services, you need to do this testing without actually affecting the production data and systems. In essence, you have to pull off the impossible – be as close to production as you can without actually being production.

Speedscale: Avoid Regulatory Icebergs with Traffic Replay, and Save Money

Jul 22, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
It has never been more critical to establish a solid foundation for regulatory compliance. Regulations govern a wide range of functions. Some of them are obvious, such as health and human services, patient data, medical devices, and credit payments. Some of them are less obvious, especially with the ever-changing definition of what constitutes private and identifiable data. This article provides an overview of regulatory compliance challenges and the hidden risks organizations face beneath the surface.

API Security: Validating Auth and Access with Traffic Simulation Starts with Behavior

Jul 18, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Security breaches rarely begin with a hidden zero-day exploit or a complex web of escalated hacks. They often start in very simple ways – an internal team member is breached, a permission is misconfigured, an overly permissive API endpoint is overlooked, or a JWT simply doesn’t expire. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and tools that enable different software systems to communicate and exchange data, making them essential in modern software development.
