Read Article →AGENT.md: Why your README matters more than AI configuration files
The AGENT.md specification emerged in July 2025 as an attempt to solve a real problem: developers maintaining separate configuration files for each AI coding tool (.cursorrules, .windsurfrules, CLAUDE.md, and more). Created by Sourcegraph's Amp team, AGENT.md promises "one file, any agent". A vendor-neutral standard to unify AI assistant configuration. But a surprising truth has emerged: the proliferation of AI configuration files has inadvertently revealed that most projects have terrible documentation, and fixing your README is more important than adopting any new standard.

Read Article →Synchronize your air-gapped GitLab with Upsun
When your GitLab instance isn't accessible from the internet, you can't use Upsun's standard GitLab integration. Instead, you can create a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that pushes code to Upsun and manages environments through API calls. This approach gives you full control over your deployment process while maintaining the security of your private GitLab instance.
Read Article →Git-Driven Infrastructure: Why Configuration as Code Beats Click-and-Deploy
It was 11:47 PM on a Friday when Sarah's phone buzzed. The authentication system was down, and customers couldn't login and use the product. After two hours of frantic debugging, the culprit emerged: someone had "temporarily" changed a security rule in the deployment dashboard three weeks ago and forgotten to document it. The staging environment worked perfectly because it still had the old configuration. Production? Nobody remembered what settings had been changed.
Read Article →Beyond Tool Calling: Understanding MCP's Three Core Interaction Types
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) changes how AI applications connect to external data and services. While most developers have experience with tool calling, MCP offers three distinct interaction types that work together to create richer experiences: prompts, resources, and tools. Understanding these three primitives and when to use each one gives you more control over building AI-powered applications.
Read Article →Build and deploy AI-Native Applications with MCP Servers on Upsun
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is transforming how AI assistants interact with external tools and data sources. As AI becomes central to how users discover and interact with digital services, providing an MCP server is no longer optional, it's a strategic imperative for SaaS products and digital services.
