Vercel Passport is now generally available

is now generally available.Vercel Passport Passport allows you to protect your Vercel deployments with your own identity provider. Visitors authenticate through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or any OIDC provider before viewing a protected deployment, and Vercel forwards a signed identity token to the deployment so application code can build on who the visitor is. The helper in reads the Vercel request context and returns the authenticated visitor. Vercel strips client-supplied values for the head

Massively parallel Postgres backups

Every 12 hours, a backup system must turn the entire state of a busy database into a consistent, encrypted snapshot, with no impact to production queries. Such backups are crucially important and simultaneously something that most engineers would rather never have to think about. Just make the backup work. Our goal at PlanetScale is to make taking, scheduling, managing, and restoring Postgres and MySQL backups effortless. Though this is what our customers experience from the outside, achieving t

The Five Ideals of DevOps: os Cinco Ideais que Sustentam a Transformação DevOps

Toda organização que tenta "fazer DevOps" acaba, cedo ou tarde, comprando um Jenkins, adotando Kubernetes e escrevendo Terraform e mesmo assim continua com deploys arriscados, times sobrecarregados e um MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery) que não sai do lugar. A ferramenta certa não resolve um problema de arquitetura e cultura errada por baixo. É esse o ponto de partida de The Five Ideals (Os Cinco Ideais), um framework conceitual que separa DevOps de "conjunto de ferramentas" e o trata como ele realme

Presigned URLs vs proxying file uploads through your backend: cost, latency, security

Use presigned URLs when a web app only needs user files to land in object storage, and reach for a proxy upload through your backend when you must inspect, rewrite, or serialize the bytes before they're stored. For ordinary SaaS document and media uploads that's the presigned path almost every time, and for a dull reason: your API server never touches the payload, so it can't be the thing that runs out of memory at 3 a.m. I've built both. The choice itself is easy — what people underestimate is
