Some bots are there to scrape your data. Some - like Muse or Instinct - might be there to make a purchase. Can your backend tell the difference?

Join Fingerprint for a Live Build event, where you'll learn how to build server-side policies to identify agentic traffic without blocking paying customers. Fingerprint's Keshia Rose will build it live, then prove it works by throwing real and fake traffic at it.

Along the way, you'll get a step-by-step walkthrough on identifying agents that try to hide their tracks, creating trust scores for different agents, and setting rules for each type of visitor.

Build it live and leave with a working solution

Resend moved its email API from Node.js to Go in seven weeks, testing compatibility across responses, stored data, idempotency, and email contents. During a 50% rollout, median email latency fell from 58 ms to 31 ms and memory per task dropped from about 1.3 GB to 180 MB, though burst capacity and storage timeouts still needed tuning.

The first GraphQL over HTTP specification standardizes how requests and responses travel over HTTP while keeping the core GraphQL specification transport agnostic. Its application/graphql-response+json media type lets clients recognize a valid GraphQL response independently of the status code, improving interoperability and observability.

DNSimple replaced about 50 Vue components and its jQuery code with native HTML, server-rendered Turbo Frames, and small Stimulus controllers. A DNS-check example shows how moving permissions, pricing, and failure-state rendering back to Ruby reduced duplicated logic and eliminated three extra queries from pages that displayed the control.

The story of the Macintosh's early application switcher connects technical tradeoffs with the difficulty of pricing strategically valuable software. A quick prototype led to months of compatibility debugging, while negotiations with Microsoft and Apple exposed the gap between valuing a program by development time and by what it enables for users.

This architecture argument favors REST and MCP adapters over shared application flows, avoiding a second implementation of business logic and an extra internal HTTP hop. A worked example shows incremental migration from a legacy API, while distinguishing current support from proposed elicitation and durable-task features.

Teleport Beams is a trusted runtime for AI agents in production. Agents start with delegated identity and zero standing privileges. Approve execution plans, trace agent activity, and stop agents and their connections with a kill switch.

Qwen Code is an open-source coding agent with terminal, editor, desktop, and browser interfaces, plus headless execution and SDKs. It supports multiple provider protocols and local models, with built-in memory, skills, agent teams, and MCP integration.

Gemini 4 Hydrogen targets fast coding and agent execution, with a one-million-token context window priced at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens. Google is also introducing Antigravity Orchestrator, which switches models within a session and reportedly achieved near-Carbon task success on Terminal-Bench 4.0 while using 24% less quota and finishing 19% faster.

UI SDK packages more than 50 interface behaviors, including focus management, selection, popups, and keyboard navigation, for coding agents to compose into components. Its component examples work across React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Web Components, with a skill that teaches agents how the behaviors fit together.

ZigZag is a free Rust-based embroidery editor for macOS and Windows that turns SVG artwork into stitches and exports common machine formats. A built-in MCP interface lets agents create and edit designs, while supported Brother Skitch machines can receive designs over Bluetooth.

Brave desktop 1.98 strips the hidden FBMD identifier from downloaded photos and uploads a cleaned copy when an existing file contains it. The identifier can persist across reuploads and could link copies of a photo, although Meta has not disclosed its purpose and Brave does not establish that it is used for tracking.

AuraDB is a fully managed graph database by Neo4j. It stores data as nodes and relationships, so your agents can understand how things connect. More context, less agent confusion. Start building for free

This experimental Rust JIT compiles functions on demand and patches edits into a running program, trading memory and optimized execution speed for faster development iteration.

TensorFold serves language models from a Zig binary using Metal or CUDA kernels.

Rust 1.100 stabilizes the never type, core custom-allocator APIs, and DropGuard, while Cargo adds unused-dependency reporting and optional dependency cooldowns.

A Remix v3 and TanStack Start comparison finds that Remix ships less JavaScript but has tooling and ecosystem gaps that currently favor small standalone projects.
