I Found My Coordinates: Code, Community, and Okta
A career progression through community leadership and software engineering led to a new role at Okta. Starting as a campus ambassador and Google Developer Student Clubs lead in India, the author organized hackathons, workshops, and meetups to foster peer learning. To effectively advocate for developers, an internship as a Developer Advocate at Zuplo prompted hands-on engineering experience as a Software Development Engineer at JPMorgan. After mentoring over 10,000 students and growing a technical community to over 600,000 members, the author joined Okta as a Senior Builder Advocate. In this role, advocacy extends beyond traditional coders to support AI builders, low-code creators, and developers utilizing identity and access management tools.
[Webinar] Voice AI that connects
This webinar addresses the gap between impressive voice AI demos and reliable production deployments, focusing on global rollout barriers such as spam-flagged outbound calls, legal delays, latency, and custom integration work. It presents Twilio Voice and AI through the Guinness Price Index case, alongside reported examples from Docplanner and audibene, whose use of the Twilio platform is said to halve costs, double booking efficiency, and improve inbound reachability by 30 percent. A developer demonstration shows how Twilio Skills and an AI coding agent configure an initial setup, while an open-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and Twilio Agent Connect SDK replace growing custom glue code. It also covers Conversation Relay for real-time audio, Conversation Memory and Conversation Orchestrator for AI-to-human handoffs, and connections to privately hosted models to retain cloud and roadmap control. The session frames compliance, privacy, personalisation, and vendor lock-in as operational concerns in scaling voice AI.
Accelerate automation with AI and the Ansible development tools MCP servers
Ansible automation development often involves frequent context switching and struggles with AI assistants generating syntactically valid code that hallucinates module parameters or misses local dependencies. To address this gap, the Ansible development tools Model Context Protocol server connects AI assistants to external development tooling through structured interfaces. The server wraps command-line utilities, enabling AI models to deterministically run ansible-lint with automatic fixes, scaffold projects via ansible-creator, manage environments, and build execution environment container images. By surfacing local workspace schemas, documentation, and organizational linting standards, the system grounds AI responses in real environment configurations. The integration operates across multiple MCP-compatible clients without requiring a specific model provider.
Cloud Agents and Cursor Harness Improvements
Cursor’s release expands cloud agents and the Cursor harness for longer-running, event-driven software work. Cloud agents can subscribe to pull requests, Slack threads, or scheduled tasks, wake on events, keep goals until completion, and automatically address CI failures and bot comments on pull requests they create. Custom modes pin a selected skill in chat, while /goal supplies a long-lived objective that can be paired with a custom mode or /loop. Subagents can run on separate virtual machines with isolated project copies and clean context, supporting fresh testing or parallel fixes without collisions. Steering improvements let users send follow-ups that wait for the next tool call instead of interrupting an action.
Welcoming Laura Beatris, our new Software Engineer
Resend announces that Laura Beatris is joining its team as a Software Engineer. She previously worked at Clerk and WorkOS, where she shipped authentication products with an emphasis on developer experience, and she has spoken on React, TypeScript, and learning in public. Laura describes a path that began with learning Python from free tutorials, continued through a technical degree and early project-building after repeated internship rejections, and eventually led to Amsterdam in 2021. At Resend, she says she was drawn to products where details matter, a culture of learning in public, and a new problem space for improving her developer-experience judgment; her advice is to learn, create, then teach, because teaching helps knowledge stick.
Databricks Document Intelligence: pushing the frontier for complex document extraction
Databricks introduces Precision Mode for its ai_extract document extraction API, targeting enterprise workloads that challenge existing LLM and rules-based systems. The mode addresses long documents with cross-references, large nested outputs such as thousands of line items, and schemas requiring reasoning across financial statements or applying discounts. It combines custom-trained, efficient extraction models with an agent harness that decomposes jobs semantically, runs smaller tasks in parallel, preserves intermediate results, and reconciles them into a final structured output. On benchmarks covering roughly 9,000 documents, including files up to 2,000 pages and schemas with more than 300 deeply nested fields, Precision Mode reached 94.7% accuracy, seven points above the strongest frontier-model chunk-and-merge baseline, GPT-5.6 Sol; the source says it is now available through ai_extract and the Information Extraction UI.
Coding Agent Horror Stories: The Command You Already Approved
The OpenAI and Hugging Face security incident involved 17,600 attacker actions, demonstrating that AI agent security cannot rely exclusively on manual human review. Modern development workflows require systems controls to constrain, observe, and govern autonomous agents operating at high speeds. To address related isolation and automation requirements, developers can run AI agents inside GitHub Actions using Docker Sandboxes to execute Testcontainers tests, fix code, and generate draft pull requests. In addition, Docker Extended Lifecycle Support provides continued security coverage past software end of life while moving policy enforcement directly to developer workstations. Finally, Docker Hub has transitioned Docker Verified Publisher applications to a self-serve model, enabling publishers to distribute verified content directly to developers.
Connect client traces to your logs
supabase-js now supports W3C Trace Context propagation so a client trace can share its trace_id with Supabase API Gateway and Edge Function logs. Previously, browser and server records had no shared identifier, making cross-boundary debugging depend on manually aligning timestamps. When tracePropagation is enabled, the SDK attaches traceparent, tracestate, and baggage to requests for Supabase domains; Supabase preserves the trace_id in generated logs, and W3C-compliant tracers such as OpenTelemetry, Sentry, Datadog, Honeycomb, or Grafana can continue the trace server-side. The setup requires a separately configured tracer, the tracing entry-point import, an active span, and a registered TracerProvider; propagation is sampling-aware by default, adds no OpenTelemetry code to the main bundle, and is available in supabase-js 2.112.0 or later, with CDN/UMD builds excluded.
Leading Indian Organizations Are Driving India’s AI Future With MongoDB
Six Indian organizations are using MongoDB Atlas to move AI projects from prototype to production at scale. Emergent Labs built a platform for non-programmers to create applications via natural language prompts, powering nearly 12 million apps. Zomato’s AI customer support platform Nugget improved human-agent efficiency by 40% within four months. Leena AI uses MongoDB Atlas to handle high-volume employee queries in real-time across 500 enterprises. Brahma AI relies on MongoDB as a unified data foundation for its enterprise content management and AI creation platform. These organizations cite MongoDB’s flexible document model, built-in search and vector capabilities, and scalability as key enablers for their AI workflows.
Introducing a More Connected, Flexible Path to MongoDB Certifications
MongoDB has updated three certification tracks—Associate Data Modeler, Database Administrator, and Atlas Administrator—so their learning paths now align with Skill Badges. Learners earn Skill Badges as they progress through training, giving milestone recognition instead of waiting until the end. Completing the full certification learning path unlocks 50% off the certification exam. The Data Modeler path covers data modeling, schema patterns, and schema optimization; the Database Administrator path covers querying, indexing, monitoring, performance tuning, security, and sharding; the Atlas Administrator path covers database administration, security, networking, and data resiliency in Atlas environments. Skill Badges recognize focused skills, while certification validates broader professional job-role expertise, and both can also be shared through Credly.
Origin Code Hosting
Cursor is rolling out Origin, an early-beta code-hosting service for all paid plans, except enterprise organizations whose admins opt out, with repositories, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub synchronization. Origin-hosted repositories treat Origin as the source of truth: users push through the CLI, while GitHub is not involved; GitHub-synced repositories instead keep GitHub authoritative and mirror changes to Origin in real time. Each repository includes pull-request timelines, commits, checks, file diffs, comments, reviews, and merging, with synced pull requests updating between Cursor and GitHub within seconds. Cursor also places agents alongside code and PRs, allowing them to answer questions, make changes, update pull requests, or push branches, while Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite integrations add preview deployments and CI options.
Auth0 Learning: The New Skill-Building Platform for Developers
Following the February 2025 launch of Okta Learning, user feedback revealed that mixing Auth0 materials into the shared catalog created friction, buried relevant content, and obscured certification progression. In response, Auth0 launched Auth0 Learning, a dedicated platform tailored specifically to developer workflows. The restructured catalog focuses on three distinct product domains: Auth0 as an identity provider, Auth0 for AI Agents (A4AA), and Auth0 Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA). To reduce onboarding friction, developers can access and interact with free, on-demand courses without creating an account or logging in. Users who choose to authenticate gain access to redesigned learning paths that track individual progress and award shareable digital skill badges upon completion.
Introducing Husker Share, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s latest program with Uber
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) has partnered with Uber to launch Husker Share, a campus-exclusive shared-rides program for students, faculty, and staff. Powered by Uber’s Closed Loop Share feature, the program matches verified UNL riders traveling in the same direction, supports sharing with up to two other riders, and limits each booking to one person. Eligible riders can save up to 20% on standard UberX fares, while the first 10,000 people to enroll receive $5 off their first trip. Enrollment requires an Uber account, the Uber app, and UNL credential verification; once approved, the option appears in the app, with trips required to start and end inside the designated service zone.
Announcing support for ClickStack in the ClickHouse Terraform provider
The ClickHouse Terraform provider now supports managing ClickStack resources for both self-hosted deployments and ClickHouse Cloud. Dashboards, alerts, sources, saved searches, connections, and webhooks can be kept in version control, reviewed, and applied with the standard terraform plan and terraform apply workflow, helping keep configurations aligned across environments. ClickStack is implemented as a dedicated service module in the existing ClickHouse/clickhouse provider, using Cloud organization credentials plus a service ID for Managed ClickStack, or an endpoint and personal API access key for self-hosted deployments. The work also extends the API contract with named schemas, consistent integer fields, structured validation errors, and dashboard JSON validation during planning when the validation endpoint is available. Support is beta from provider version 3.25, with import and generated-configuration workflows for existing resources; if validation is unavailable, planning warns and validation is deferred to apply.
How Cloudflare detects MCP traffic and helps secure it
Traditional security boundaries assume human speed and judgment, but AI agents execute nondeterministic actions rapidly and can invoke unapproved Model Context Protocol servers through standard HTTPS traffic. To mitigate this shadow traffic, Cloudflare One introduces detection and inspection capabilities across clients, network boundaries, and MCP servers. Cloudflare Gateway leverages protocol-level headers and JSON-RPC inspection to identify direct MCP connections, verify managed paths, and enforce access through approved MCP Server Portals. Furthermore, Cloudflare Agents SDK v0.20.0 implements the stateless 2026-07-28 MCP specification while providing fallback handshakes for legacy servers. Organizations can combine Gateway traffic source rules with server middleware like WriteGuard to block unauthorized tool invocations before execution.
Secure all your internal vibe-coded applications — in one click
AI-assisted development enables employees to build applications rapidly, but unmanaged deployments can accidentally expose internal company data to the public Internet. Cloudflare introduced direct Cloudflare Access integration for Cloudflare Workers, allowing organizations to enforce authentication policies directly at the account or individual Worker level rather than per hostname. When enabled, incoming requests are authenticated before reaching application code across custom domains, routes, workers.dev subdomains, and preview environments. Developers can access authenticated identity data such as emails and groups directly via the Worker context object without manually validating JSON Web Tokens. This capability was implemented on Cloudflare's Rust-based FL2 proxy, which separated Worker routing from Worker execution so routing runs safely prior to Access policy enforcement.
Close the Database Blind Spot with MongoDB Atlas Observability
MongoDB Atlas introduces OpenTelemetry Metrics Sink, a push-based stream that delivers high-fidelity Atlas metrics to OpenTelemetry-compatible platforms, enabling database telemetry to flow alongside application and infrastructure metrics. This closes the gap where database telemetry was often disconnected from application and infrastructure monitoring, forcing operators to jump between dashboards. The push-based delivery eliminates the complexity of pull-based collection, custom exporters, and polling infrastructure, reducing operational overhead and avoiding API rate limits. It supports configuration via the Atlas UI or Terraform, works with custom OTel endpoints, Dynatrace, and New Relic, and is available for dedicated M10+ clusters; a test metric is emitted on creation or update to verify it is working. Combined with Atlas Log Integration and upcoming Events Integration, teams gain unified visibility into database health alongside other signals, accelerating incident response and root cause analysis.
Firetiger joins Cursor
Cursor announced that the Firetiger team is joining the company, bringing together coding agents with agents focused on software after it reaches production. Founded in 2024 by Rustam Lalkaka and Achille Roussel, Firetiger builds agents that monitor rollouts, catch regressions, investigate incidents, and pass findings back to coding agents. The stated motivation is to reduce operational toil and connect code generation with production feedback, so an agent can ship a change, observe its behavior, and respond when something goes wrong. Firetiger’s work is expected to appear across Cursor as the companies develop long-running, autonomous, context-aware agents for teams, alongside Cursor Origin and the forthcoming Change Monitors, which will watch deployed changes and flag problems as they appear.
