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.

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.

Android App Crashes: Causes, Detection, and Fixes

Aug 20, 2026 By Aleix Ventayol In Bugfender
Android app crashes will cost us users and damage our Play Store ranking. To prevent them from happening, we need to understand the most frequent causes of crashes, read the stack trace effectively, and have plans for common painpoints such as null values. This article will give you the tools to do that.

Node.js Upgrade: 5 Things That Can Break Before You Migrate

Aug 20, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
Updating Node.js can be as simple as installing a new version. But a safe Node.js upgrade is more than changing the number returned by node -v. A major release can affect dependencies, native addons, Node.js APIs, OpenSSL, build environments, and runtime behavior. Before changing the runtime, the first question should be.

Free Satellite Imagery for Machine Learning and Big Data Pipelines

Free Satellite Imagery for Machine Learning and Big Data Pipelines

Aug 20, 2026 By SystemsDigest In SystemsDigest
The expansion of public satellite fleets has turned Earth observation into a true Big Data playground. What once required dedicated GIS servers can now be handled by cloud tools that pull fresh imagery continuously without breaking project budgets. This sudden abundance of open rasters completely changes how products get built. Having steady access to free satellite data for download and analysis allows engineering teams to test new ideas, train computer vision models, and scale geographic coverage fast, without paying a cent for raw image feeds.

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.
