Since we adopted React here at Zalando, I have always been on the look out to make the most out of it. While working with server side rendering, I noticed the way we were passing our props down the pipeline wasn't as clean as I liked it to be. So I thought: "There must be another way". The usual and most common way of passing props from the server side rendering to the client in a React Isomorphic app is through data attributes , which is a very straightforward and easy strategy.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

Companies have long neglected security in the development lifecycle, instead of accepting that it is part of everything they do. The push to bring security to the forefront of product development, as well as to the minds of all employees, is costing organisations more than they anticipated.
