1,238 API errors in two days, and every response said 200 OK

Nov 6, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
The query count in our snapshot drawer went blank, and the unit test for that request kept passing. When we went looking in recorded traffic, the API gateway had rejected that request 210 times in a single recording. Every one of those rejections came back as 200 OK. So we searched the rest. We record our own API gateway with Speedscale, and two recording windows from November 3 to 5 (about 38 hours between them) held 1,238 responses with gRPC status INVALID_ARGUMENT. All 1,238 returned HTTP 200.

How AI is transforming build vs. buy strategy

Nov 6, 2026 By Alex Zavorski In SmartBear
When I talk to engineering leaders about how their team decides whether to build a piece of software instead of buying something off the shelf, the decision usually starts at, “well, can we?” For most of the last decade, that was a reasonable first question, because unless the team had a quarter’s worth of runway and a specialist to spare, the answer was “no.” But now, AI has made the answer “yes,” at least on the surface.

React Native Logging: From console.log to Production

Nov 6, 2026 By Aleix Ventayol In Bugfender
console.log is the foundation of logging in React Native. It gives you immediate feedback, it’s easy to use and it integrates with several developer tools. But if you want continuous visibility throughout your app’s lifecycle, console.log only takes you part of the way there. Once your app ships, you lose the convenient development environment that makes console output easy to inspect, and you want have automatic access to the logs.

The AI pilot didn't test your lakehouse. Production will.

Nov 6, 2026 By Qlik In Qlik
A pilot agent asks a few hundred well-behaved questions against data somebody curated for it, on a cluster nobody else is using. It works. Someone writes “AI-ready” on a slide. Meanwhile, the architecture decision that actually determines whether any of this scales gets made by default, because nobody noticed it was being made. What breaks under agents is almost never the part of the stack anyone argued about.

Nov 5, 2026 By Karl Johnson In Appian
In business, staying competitive means continuously improving how work gets done. Business process automation (BPA) platforms give enterprises the structure to drive efficiency and growth at scale. But most tech-led process improvement initiatives fail because organizations layer new software over disjointed workflows, resulting in more complexity and a higher risk of error.

Not every GitHub Actions outage is out of your control

Nov 5, 2026 By Catherine Doyle In Bitrise
Mitchell Hashimoto wrote that in April 2026, on a day that he couldn’t do any PR review for almost 2 hours because GitHub Actions was down. Again. In the same blog post, he announced that Ghostty, the terminal emulator project he maintains, was leaving GitHub. This wasn’t a split-second decision, based on one outage. In the month leading up to the post, the HashiCorp co-founder had been keeping a journal, marking an X next to every date when a GitHub outage interfered with his work.

The Truth About End-to-End Testing Explained #softwaretesting #endtoendtesting #devops #qualitytest

Nov 5, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
End-to-end (E2E) testing brings your entire system together in a staging or UAT environment to test real user paths and ensure core functions work as expected. However, because E2E tests are non-comprehensive and miss edge cases, they must be combined with other testing methodologies. Learn more: speedscale.com.
