Junie is intellij`s AI agent, which is very helpful for working on code, I find it better then github copilot because its taks planning and implementation is more helpful then github copilot for me. And couple of months ago I was doing a small demo to show how to use vscode with github copilot and playwright. The idea is LLM will use the playwright and write all tests and it will explore the site, this is good because it feels like you are showing your product to a fresh eyes, when we are writing/developing we may miss many things, this LLM approach is good for learning how others can act and it will find in time how to use the site and it will write the test scenario we want. I Longer details for vscode check here. ...

When implementing secure PostgreSQL connections, certificate creation forms the foundation of your PKI infrastructure. Whether you’re setting up a development environment or deploying enterprise-grade systems, understanding proper certificate creation practices is crucial. This guide explores certificate creation from the simple OpenSSL approach to enterprise-grade practices employed by major financial institutions like Credit Suisse/UBS and media companies like BBC.

Today, I’m diving into Distinguished Name (DN) authentication-a powerful feature that enables certificate-based authentication when the Common Name (CN) in your client certificate doesn’t match your PostgreSQL username. This approach is essential in enterprise environments where certificate naming conventions don’t align with database user naming requirements. Version Compatibility: The clientname=DN feature was introduced in PostgreSQL 14. If you’re using PostgreSQL 13 or earlier versions, this DN authentication method will not work and you’ll need to use traditional CN-based certificate authentication instead. ...

Mutual TLS (mTLS) for PostgreSQL provides strong, passwordless authentication and encryption. The most common cause of failed secure connections in real deployments is incorrect Subject Alternative Name (SAN) handling and trust configuration on the client side. This post explains how to set up SANs correctly, how hostname verification really works, and how to align PostgreSQL with enterprise PKI practices-using this repository’s cluster as a concrete example. Why SAN Matters More Than CN Modern TLS stacks validate the server’s identity against the SAN extension on the server certificate-not the Common Name (CN). When a PostgreSQL client connects to a host name (or IP), it will check: ...

🚀 The Pagination Pitfall: A React + Spring Boot Cautionary Tale The Setup: “It’ll Be Fine…” A few years ago, I was working on a dashboard application with a React frontend and a Spring Boot backend. The task seemed simple: display a list of users with pagination. One of the newer devs suggested: “Let’s just fetch everything once and paginate on the client side - it’ll be faster for the user.” ...
