[RunReveal @RunReveal]

We're excited to be part of @ClickHouseDB's inaugural House Mates partner cohort, announced last week at Open House.

RunReveal is one of 25+ ISV partners in the program, alongside dbt Labs, Fivetran, Confluent, Grafana Labs, + others.

If you're building on ClickHouse and need a security data layer, we'd love to talk.

AI Agent Security Masterclass: Drive Adoption and Control the Risks

[Robby @robby_mtf]

That @KeycardLabs x @insecureagents collab 🔥

[Open Source Startup Podcast🎙 @OssStartup]

Most companies are building agents, @tweetsbyport is building the infra around them🦾

In the latest ep, @robby_mtf & @tnachen talk with Port founder @ZoharEiny on why the agentic era needs a control plane for visibility & governance

Great convo on where software dev is heading

A must listen for any cyber friends!

[Open Source Startup Podcast🎙 @OssStartup]

AI security is shifting from guardrails to runtime defense 👀

[RunReveal @RunReveal]

Our very own @Caust1c is speaking at @ClickHouseDB's Open House conference next week May 26-28!

Alan is sharing insight into how the team at RunReveal has operated ClickHouse across Cloudflare, Segment, and now a purpose-built security data platform handling petabyte-scale event logs. His session covers a decade of real schema decisions, operational lessons, and a technical breakdown of why ClickHouse's architecture outperforms legacy approaches for security analytics at scale.

[Keycard @KeycardLabs]

When one agent calls another to query Snowflake, it passes down the same broad credentials. Nothing is scoped to the task. Nothing expires with the session. You can't tell which agent did what, on whose behalf, or why.

Today we're launching Keycard for Multi-Agent Apps 🧵

[Robby @robby_mtf]

The only thing that could make agent identity a more challenging problem is adding agent-to-agent hand-offs!

So that's why I'm incredibly pumped for @KeycardLabs to release 'Keycard for Multi-Agent Apps'

Infra for secure, delegated access between agent 🤖

[Robby @robby_mtf]

Wow okay security friends listen up:

@RunReveal has some of the BEST customers out there - @temporalio @harvey @cursor_ai @linear @ClickHouseDB @togethercompute

Can't imagine a better team to put on a killer security / user conference 😎

See you Sept 29 in SF!

[MetalBear 🐻 @metalbear]

We just had our first company retreat last week in Biella, Italy — planning sessions, great food and wine, and river rafting in a thunderstorm (the thunderstorm part wasn't intentional)

We're a fully remote team spread across 15 countries, so moments like these are really special for us!

If you'd like to join the next one, we're hiring :)

Everyone chased LLMs. @fal went all in on generative media🎯

From images → video → audio - they built the infra to run it fast

And soon went from 0 to 100s of millions of revenue 📈

@robby_mtf & @tnachen talk with Fal's founding engineer @isidentical about the journey 💪
