MCP servers are dependencies: allowlist and scope them like production integrations
Arjun Patel · 2026-10-27
Model Context Protocol servers reach trackers, databases and cloud consoles for coding agents. Treat each server as a credentialed dependency — allowlist, least privilege, review — before you call it productivity.
Treat AGENTS.md as a delivery contract before you scale coding agents
Ananya Desai · 2026-10-27
Repository instruction files tell agents — and partners — how your codebase actually works. What to put in AGENTS.md, what to leave out, and how to review it like a living delivery contract.
Adding AI to healthcare software without skipping clinical checkpoints
Priya Nair · 2026-10-24
Copilots and summarisation in clinical-adjacent products need audit logs, role gates and suggest-do-not-decide defaults — how to ship a safe first AI slice.
Why client-owned repositories matter in software partnerships
Priya Nair · 2026-10-24
Who holds the git remote, cloud account and deploy keys decides whether you can exit a vendor cleanly. How to insist on ownership without slowing delivery.
Treat VPN and firewall portals like production apps
Priya Nair · 2026-10-24
Remote-access and edge management UIs are hunted like production apps. Patch cadence, MFA, least privilege and logging for VPN and firewall portals that product and ops teams actually run.
Avatars, documents and thumbnails pull native converters into your trust boundary. Allowlists, pinning, sandboxing and update policy for media libraries so upload features do not become RCE features.
Harden GitHub Actions before AI multiplies your PRs
Priya Nair · 2026-10-24
AI and contractors raise merge volume. Pipeline identity, short-lived cloud credentials, least privilege workflows and third-party Action review so CI stays trustworthy when PR count spikes.
Treat decode and compression paths as trust boundaries
Rohan Mehta · 2026-10-24
Untrusted Brotli, SVG, cache and image bytes can become RCE on official runtimes. Patch windows, edge rejection, isolated decode workers and tests that prove you updated.
Unmanaged AI agents are an insider risk you already have
Priya Nair · 2026-10-24
Shadow agents on laptops hold API keys and internal reach with no owner. Inventory, secrets scope, spend caps and approval gates for AI tools teams already run — before you call them productivity.
Cost of building a custom multi-tenant SaaS platform with AWS infrastructure
Rohan Mehta · 2026-10-23
What actually drives build and run cost for a multi-tenant SaaS on AWS — tenancy, billing, integrations, environments — and how to get a quote that survives contact with scope.
Three Index: your AI-first software development partner — not an investment fund
Rohan Mehta · 2026-10-22
Three Index is a software company in Ahmedabad. How we differ from three-index investment search results, what we build, and where to find services and case studies.
Agent-ready cloud: identity and spend controls before autonomy
Kavya Iyer · 2026-10-03
As agents provision and operate cloud resources, undocumented exceptions break. How to make environments legible with non-human identity, approval gates and FinOps caps.
Dependency risk, SBOM expectations and poisoned packages are buying criteria now. Practical supply chain controls that fit delivery teams without freezing every upgrade.
Zero trust is moving from architecture slides to insurance and customer requirements. Practical identity, least privilege and continuous verification patterns for multi-tenant products.
Platform engineering: golden paths product teams will actually use
Ananya Desai · 2026-09-30
Self-service environments, CI and deploy rails are becoming table stakes. How to build an internal platform that speeds delivery without forcing every squad to invent DevOps from scratch.
Agentic AI features need human checkpoints before production
Kavya Iyer · 2026-09-29
Enterprise software is embedding multi-step agents, not just copilots. How to design autonomy tiers, tool permissions and audit trails so agent features help users without creating silent failures.
Vibe coding without a review can shut the product down
Ananya Desai · 2026-09-27
A non-technical founder can publish an AI-built app that looks finished. Without an audit, an outsider can expose the gaps, and the product — and the money behind it — has to come down.
When AI speeds up coding, delivery systems become the bottleneck
Kavya Iyer · 2026-09-20
AI coding tools raise change volume. Why CI, review, testing and platform golden paths matter more than raw generation speed — and how to buy delivery help that keeps pace.
