How low-code solutions are changing how we build products and workflows

We have all heard the terms low-code or no-code being thrown around as buzzwords over the last few years but what does this mean and how is it changing the way businesses and individuals solve problems? I am going to use our product SAML Jackson to explain how low-code solutions are changing the way we build products.

What is DevOps and how has it evolved into DevSecOps

Let's first take a look at what DevOps (Developer Operations) is so we can better understand why it has now evolved into DevSecOps (Developer Security Operations). DevOps is a combination of philosophies, practices, and tools that increases a business's ability to deliver better development in less time (Higher velocity). This can be applied to building a new product or the process of continuous improvement that applies to most products we see today.

Developer-first Security sucks! Why is it essential to automate product security?

Be enterprise-ready: Three reasons not to build enterprise features!

Enterprises can be scared to give startups a chance and startups often lose out to more established businesses.

Understanding SAML SSO, the basics from the user side

I have always worked in tech, so have always needed to understand the technical nature of the products we are building. This process has always been over-complicated for me so I now always try to write a guide for non-technical people like me. It turns out that once you understand it you can explain it to other non-technical people much easier! So here we go as I try to explain SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) SSO (single sign-on) and why BoxyHQ makes it so easy to implement.

Understanding SAML SSO, the basics from the solution provider's side

This article follows my first article in which I explain the basics of SAML from the users' side. If you haven't read that one already I would recommend reading that one first here. In this article, we are going to take a look at what SAML authentication and setup look like from the solution providers' perspective. If you are a B2B solutions provider and you plan to have enterprise customers they will likely ask that your product supports SAML SSO.
