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 Sentry?

Sentry is pushing past collection into interpretation, with Seer and AI-generated dashboards.

Two AI surfaces now anchor the changelog: the Seer agent in open beta and an AI dashboard-generation beta. Underneath, the platform keeps broadening ingestion and alerting — metrics reach .NET and Unity, logs reach Kotlin Multiplatform, uptime monitors gain alert configuration, metrics beta gains alerting, and Alerts is splitting into Monitors and Alerts. Size Analysis and org-level Data Forwarding reached GA.

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.

Sentry is pushing past collection into interpretation, with Seer and AI-generated dashboards.

◆ Current state

Two AI surfaces now anchor the changelog: the Seer agent in open beta and an AI dashboard-generation beta. Underneath, the platform keeps broadening ingestion and alerting — metrics reach .NET and Unity, logs reach Kotlin Multiplatform, uptime monitors gain alert configuration, metrics beta gains alerting, and Alerts is splitting into Monitors and Alerts. Size Analysis and org-level Data Forwarding reached GA.

◆ Where it's heading

The consistent direction is reducing the setup and expertise required before a signal becomes visible. Generating dashboards and answering questions about the app are both attacks on the same cost: the engineer who has to know what to build before they can see anything. Meanwhile SDK and alerting coverage keeps filling in as table stakes.

◆ Prediction

Look for the AI surfaces to converge — Seer and generated dashboards becoming one investigation path rather than two features — and for the Monitors/Alerts split to settle into clearer routing.
