In engineering, we talk a lot about technical debt — the shortcuts and compromises made in code that pile up over time. But there’s another kind of debt that’s just as dangerous and far more invisible: QA debt. QA debt is what happens when testing isn’t given the same attention as features, architecture, or performance. It’s the accumulation of missed edge cases, outdated test suites, incomplete automation, or skipped regression checks.

Generative AI can produce code faster than humans, and developers feel more productive with it integrated into their IDEs. That productivity is only real if CI/CD tests are solid and automated. When not appropriately tested, you may encounter a production issue that you haven’t seen before. According to the State of Software Delivery 2025 report, 67% of developers spend more time debugging and resolving security vulnerabilities in code generated by AI.

When you build your network with APIs at its core, you give your business a competitive edge. Here’s how to do it. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have become ubiquitous with modern networks for good reason. As companies use more service providers, endpoints, and software platforms, APIs help them get the most possible utility from their data with the least possible effort.

We’re excited to introduce StatusGator API v3, the biggest update yet to our developer platform. This release is built on modern standards, offers a richer data model, and unlocks powerful new endpoints designed to help you integrate StatusGator more deeply into your workflows.

AI coding tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Claude have completely changed how we write software. From humble beginnings where non-AI-enabled code assistants made intelligent code suggestions, like Intellisense, the latest agentic tools can generate entire functions, suggest optimal algorithms, and even scaffold complete applications in minutes. However, as any developer who’s worked with AI-generated code knows, the output isn’t always perfect.

A couple of weeks ago, our team returned from API World. We’ve officially had a few weeks to decompress and get back into the swing of things after an incredible time at API World 2025. Looking back, the experience was even more rewarding than I had imagined in my Pre-API World blog. This year was especially memorable for me, as I had the opportunity to attend my first tech conference and travel across the country for work. I’m still buzzing from everything I learned and the people I met.

As you may have noticed, we released the latest version of the UptimeRobot API a few weeks ago. Don’t worry, the v2 will remain available; however, it will no longer receive support or updates. New features will be added only to v3. Built on a RESTful architecture, v3 unlocks more flexibility, cleaner workflows, and expanded capabilities for developers who want tighter control over their monitoring. Below, we’ll highlight what’s new and how it compares to the legacy v2 API.
