Fixing 403 auth errors when you replay traffic

Jul 13, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale

Trigger warning: this one is about Java, authentication, and Docker Compose files. If that is not your thing, I am sorry, but they are part of life and they are honestly not that hard to work with. Everything here is open source on our GitHub repo, so you can follow along. Recording an authenticated Java flow, replaying it, hitting the dreaded 403, and fixing it with a proxymock recommendation.

The Leverage of using AI is Bigger the Smaller You Are

Jul 13, 2026 By Vic van Gool In Cloud 66

A few weeks ago I went to quantify a trend I had already clocked: our test-writing had climbed, and kept climbing. Where a typical month once brought a handful of new tests, last month brought 436.

How We Secured AI Worker Agents in Harness | Harness Blog

Jul 13, 2026 By Shivansh Srivastava In Harness

When we launched Autonomous Worker Agents, the message we led with was simple: governance is inherited, not integrated. Agents don't get security bolted on after the fact. They inherit the OPA policies, RBAC, and audit trails already running your production pipelines. This post is about the layer underneath that promise: isolation. We let an Autonomous Worker Agent run shell commands and call APIs inside our pipelines.

AWS, GCP, Azure - We Pick The Best of Every Cloud

Jul 13, 2026 By Control Plane Corporation In Control Plane

When your platform is tied to a single cloud, every move turns into a migration. This team decided it didn't have to be. In this clip, a Control Plane customer explains how separating their platform from the cloud provider underneath changed the math on infrastructure. Instead of being locked to one vendor, they can pick the best services from each cloud and move workloads to AWS without jumping through hoops. The kicker: a migration whose sheer scale would have "scared them off" becomes a non-event once your platform isn't welded to a single provider. Control Plane is an AI-native virtual cloud.

Code-Level Migration Assessment for AWS

Jul 13, 2026 By Amber Weaver In Tidal

Infrastructure assessment tools scan your servers and estimate migration cost based on CPU, memory, and storage. They do not read your application code. Applications that appear migration-ready at the infrastructure layer may contain thousands of lines of code that block cloud adoption. Without code-level visibility, teams cannot make accurate 6R decisions.

How the TLS handshake works, and why half of it is gone

Jul 13, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit

Every HTTPS connection starts with a TLS handshake. It’s the security check, answering “are you who you say you are?” and “how are we going to keep this conversation secret?”. There’s a lot going on during the handshake, and there used to be even more before it all got hacked and removed. And that’s useful to understand, the modern TLS 1.3 handshake is short because everything else got compromised.
