Build on WorkOS, Build for the future 🚀
AI runs on WorkOS. From the fastest-growing startups to companies used by millions. Still kind of wild to see them all in one place 🔥 workos.com/customers
Incredible read
We're making Git hosting more reliable, performant, and scalable. This post traces 20 years of Git infrastructure and explains how that history led us to design and operate our Git storage, Origin, as if it were a database. cursor.com/blog/git-at-an…
WorkOS Airlock brings Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC) to your agents.
The team has been cooking up some really cool stuff. If you’re building agents, this event is for you. Come join us tomorrow at the Regency Ballroom! 🙂
AGENT NIGHT is tomorrow at The Regency Ballroom 🌉 The lineup: @swyx · @JayaGup10 · @Altimor · @davidcrawshaw · @bdougieYO · @abhiaiyer · @inazarovaLive Live demos and sharp discussions, plus a sneak peek of something new from @WorkOS 👀 See you there! luma.com/agent-night
The future of work is AI teammates.
Today we’re launching Atlas, an AI teammate that works alongside your team in Slack. It answers questions, takes action, and learns how your company works. Read more and try it today: workos.com/atlas
Next week is AGENT NIGHT at the Regency Ballroom 🕺🪩💃 Featuring @swyx and @JayaGup10 discussing hot takes on context graphs🔥 Plus lightning demos, including @exedev from @davidcrawshaw And much, much more 😉 RSVP now before we hit capacity: luma.com/agent-night
@AmberSahdev @deedydas @ashwinravi99 @robbieuthappa We should start an SF league (~cricbay / TCL)
Today WorkOS is launching auth.md An open protocol for agents to register for services on the web. We're partnering with @Cloudflare and @Firecrawl as some of the first providers. Why did we build this? And why now? 🧵
42% of these are powered by @WorkOS Many others making the switch to accelerate growth 🚀 workos.com/switch
BREX DATA: Spring 2026’s top 25 fastest-growing software vendors.
For the past several months, our engineering team has been building a new agentic coding system designed around a simple idea: the self-driving codebase. These aren't just agents to write code on demand. They detect triggers, spin up secure sandboxes, gather dynamic context, open PRs, verify their work, unblock the next task, and learn from every failure. We think the future of software engineering may look more like swarms of event-driven agents, running continuously, with humans setting direction and reviewing the work. Ramp built Inspect. Stripe built Minions. Spotify built Honk. We call ours Horizon. 🌅 Read more about what we learned and where it's going next:
36% of these are @WorkOS customers workos.com/careers 😉
Companies I'd consider going to if I ever had the urge to try something new. 1 Thinking Machines Lab 2 OpenAI 3 Anthropic 4 Cursor 5 Applied Intuition 6 Modal Labs 7 Decagon 8 Voyage AI 9 Cohere 10 Glean 11 LangChain 12 Ramp 13 Together AI 14 Fireworks AI 15
Today @WorkOS SAML and SCIM integrations are connected to over 100k enterprise environments. Since the surface here is the union of our customers' customers (an accelerating set!), I think this make WorkOS the most robust and reliable enterprise IAM service ever built. We achieved this through many years of painstaking engineering and thousands of small fixes. This can't be AI vibecoded because it can't be easily verified. The edge cases are the moat (and there are lots of them!)
@dexhorthy workos saved me from hand-rolling SAML + SCIM twice now. the admin portal alone is worth it — every enterprise deal comes with a different IdP and they've covered literally all the ones my customers ask for.
For two decades, S3 has been an object store, but today it's something broader. S3 Files lets you mount any bucket as a filesystem—no copies, no sync scripts, no choosing between file and object. @andywarfield tells the full story, including the "filerectories" that almost made the cut. allthingsdistributed.com/2026/04/s3-fil…
🤣
they call it mount tam because you can see your total addressable market from there
AI agents are exposing a big gap in today’s infrastructure: we never built identity and authorization for non-human actors. Had a great chat on the Insecure Agents podcast about agent identity, RBAC limits, and why fine-grained + ephemeral access matters.
Our episode with Pavan Kulkarni and Aaron Tainter from @WorkOS is LIVE! Listen to understand why developers are feeling the pain from missing agent identity infrastructure and to learn more about their recent FGA launch. 00:00 Introduction to Agent Identity and FGA 01:31
Every AI app looks magical in a demo. Most stall in enterprise. Not because of models or latency — because of authorization. AuthN proves identity. AuthZ defines blast radius. No fine-grained control → no production. workos.com/blog/agents-ne…
Agents need Authorization, not just Authentication Agents break traditional IAM: they generate intent, operate autonomously, and often run with excessive privileges, creating “confused deputy” and “god mode” risks. Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) fixes this by enforcing per-resource, per-task permissions, intersection checks, and real-time policy decisions at machine speed. Read more about our new API here: workos.com/blog/agents-ne…
@martin_casado @essonam_m Agreed. We've been working on this problem for a while @WorkOS. How to model AuthZ for both evolving complex app needs that also seamlessly plugs into enterprise systems. Happy to chat more !!
Excited to host @GergelyOrosz of @Pragmatic_Eng tonight at WorkOS HQ 🔥 We'll also be featuring demos from: • @romainhuet (@OpenAI) • @johnmichael_mur (@Perplexity_ai) • Dustin Healy (@ClickHouseDB) • Steven DeMartini (@Linear) Limited space so please DM me if you'd like to join! luma.com/workos-pragmat…
