What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is Presto?

Presto ships steady point releases; its changelog feed is partly mis-crawled

PrestoDB continues its regular cadence of versioned releases, 0.296 through 0.298.1 over the window, each pointing to off-site release notes rather than inlining changes. Two of the recent entries are not releases at all but mis-crawled GitHub profile and error pages.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

Presto ships steady point releases; its changelog feed is partly mis-crawled

◆ Current state

PrestoDB continues its regular cadence of versioned releases, 0.296 through 0.298.1 over the window, each pointing to off-site release notes rather than inlining changes. Two of the recent entries are not releases at all but mis-crawled GitHub profile and error pages.

◆ Where it's heading

As an established open-source query engine, Presto's trajectory here is maintenance cadence rather than directional: incremental minor and patch releases. The lack of inline detail makes direction hard to read from the feed alone.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued point releases on the same cadence; the feed itself likely needs a crawl-source fix to capture actual release contents.
