How did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube… nothing? Genuinely curious.

PRO TIP: REST is overengineering. Just expose one endpoint called /api that accepts SQL queries directly. Based on security concerns, I've added AI validation to the snippet.

MCP servers are becoming the most privileged components in our stacks. Left unsecured, they're a centralized point of failure for data governance. Our new ebook provides the blueprint for securing them with externalized #authorizationπŸ‘‰ https://t.co/XYo3IQ4htl #MCP #AISecurity

We just shipped some new features! Both came directly from customer feedback about debugging and monitoring: 1️⃣ Understanding why specific authorization decisions were made 2️⃣ Getting visibility into usage patterns across multiple teams. https://t.co/sdffNCu3qD

AI agents are not service accounts with personalities. I know that's how many of us are treating them, but it's fundamentally wrong.

Thanks for having me - really enjoyed the discussion. What @platformatic has done around session management of MCP is going to be the killer feature for adaption as we start moving MCP use from just code editors to end user apps - particularly on unstable mobile connections.

Speed tip for APIs: > JSON is human-friendly, not CPU-friendly. > Switch to Protocol Buffers (via gRPC), and you'll: - Reduce payload size - Increase parsing speed - Enable strong contracts The future is binary.
