Here are a few OPA alternatives: https://www.osohq.com/learn/open-policy-agent-authorization-...

Seems similar to Apple's 2015 acquisition of FoundationDB -- they sunset the commercial offering. But it's unclear if they acquired Styra or just hired the team?

I'm maintaining an article about this news (as well as commercial alternatives to OPA) on the Oso blog: https://www.osohq.com/post/opa-maintainers-join-apple-oss-co...

Disclaimer is that I work with Oso :-) but hope it will be helpful regardless.

Yes, similar discussion across two separate articles: (1) article from General Analysis on "Supabase MCP can leak your entire SQL database" (2) article from Oso talking about why authorization in AI is hard, what to do about it, which references the General Analysis article

MongoDB employee posting:

Out of an abundance of caution, we cast a wide net and contacted all current and past MongoDB users, including those that may have closed their MongoDB Atlas Projects. If you would like to have your contact information completely deleted from our systems, please file a GDPR deletion request: https://www.mongodb.com/legal/privacy-policy/request-for-del...

You can reach out to me directly for assistance with this, if needed. My email is my first name at mongodb dot com.

MongoDB employee posting:

The login issues are unrelated to the security incident. We notified all of our customers and users concurrently resulting in a spike in login attempts. Please try again in a few minutes if you are still having trouble logging in.

Please continue to monitor our alerts page: https://www.mongodb.com/alerts

Seems like they have bindings for several languages, but I think Python was the first language they supported

Nice post. This covers how you'd model the permissions, etc. but do you have any articles/docs on how you'd actually integrate this into an application?

Cool - congrats! Would love to hear more about why you chose Rust for this?

Meghan from MongoDB here.

Agree that eventual consistency is inappropriate for the majority of database workloads. This is why we has always defaulted to strong consistency, by reading from primary nodes in a cluster. (Because eventual consistency is sometimes useful, MongoDB offers eventual consistency, too.)

Thanks for the suggestion, we will be updating the copy to clarify that the packages are the preferred installation method.

We take security seriously at MongoDB. Here is a response on security best practices from the MongoDB CTO & Co-Founder:

Glad that you are having success with MongoDB at scale. Have you considered sharing your experiences? Would be really helpful for others to learn from you.

I can hook you up with some stickers. meghan @ 10gen.com

Congrats Jason & Ben. This is great for the MongoDB ecosystem.

I'd like to correct some factual errors from this article.

1) Failover of a MongoDB Replica Set is totally automated and requires no manual intervention. The replica set remains available for writes as long as a quorum can be established between remaining members. See http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Replica+Sets for more info

2) MongoDB does support different consistency models through Write Concerns and Safe Mode. The client can choose to wait for the transaction to be written to multiple replicas if it wants. See http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Verifying+Propagation+of... for more info

No certification right now but that's good feedback, thanks

Sure, will add some slides below the videos. Don't have any plans to transcribe the talks but that is a great idea worth looking into.

We're adding more videos today - presentations from Intuit, Yottaa, Wordnik, etc. Keep checking back!

It's hard for local businesses to leverage technology for advertising. foursquare and other location-based services allow local businesses -- like restaurants and bars and shops -- to identify, target, and reward customers. The users benefit from deals / discounts with local businesses that are relevant to them. That seems valuable to me.
