We have a major responsibility to make our product secure and usable without our users having to worry about it. Even though we haven't launched our first MVP yet, we already feel this responsibility. It is not just the product we have to keep safe; it also includes our marketing website, the newsletter, our infrastructure, and our internal tools.</p> <p>We want to give our future customers a quick dive into security at QueueForge and explain how we combine AI, human expertise, and automated analysis into a cohesive security concept.</p> <h2> How QueueForge uses AI for security </h2> <p>We use AI to scan our code for vulnerabilities and to identify potential exploit scenarios. We run these AI scans before every major deployment and after significant changes to the codebase. Through this scanning, we found multiple small misconfigurations in our reverse proxy and some in our admin dashboard. It is important to remember that these vulnerabilities could not have caused harm, as their impact was low or they were located in internal tools. This is a positive result: if the system finds small problems, it is capable of finding major ones too. We understand that AI cannot replace real people, but it effectively helps us improve the security of our product and website.</p> <h2> How QueueForge uses automated tools for security </h2> <p>We use automated tools to find vulnerabilities in dependencies and "low-hanging fruit" that can be detected through pattern recognition. We use services we trust, though we prefer not to disclose the specific providers. In addition to these tools, we perform npm audit and pip-audit scans every one to three days.</p> <h2> How QueueForge involves humans and the community </h2> <p>QueueForge does not rely solely on automated tools or AI to secure our services. We also perform manual searches for vulnerabilities, specifically before every major deployment that adds new functionality. We implement a "secure by design" concept, though it is common knowledge that this approach alone is not enough. Another key element is our public security research program, where anyone can participate. You can find it at <a href="https://queueforge.dev/security" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://queueforge.dev/security</a>. Although we have not received a report yet, we believe this will help us in the future.</p> <h2> Stay up to date </h2> <p>If you want to stay informed about development progress, upcoming features, and announcements, you can subscribe to the newsletter.

The idea is simple.</p> <p>QueueForge is a SaaS platform for hosting queue systems. It focuses on a problem many developers face when working with queues: debugging. Issues such as missing messages, lost messages, or delays in worker processing can be difficult to trace. QueueForge is being developed to help make these issues easier to understand and resolve.</p> <h2> How will QueueForge work? </h2> <p>QueueForge is planned to provide an interface that is easy to understand and supports developers with different levels of experience. It will include an SDK for deeper integration, as well as an API and other connection options for working with existing queue systems.</p> <h2> Stay up to date </h2> <p>If you want to stay informed about development progress, upcoming features, and announcements, you can subscribe to the newsletter.

The goal of this blog is to improve how we communicate with our users, customers, and the wider community. Through the blog we will share product updates, technical insights, announcements, and other important information about QueueForge.</p> <p>Alongside the blog we have also implemented an RSS feed. This allows anyone to easily follow new posts using their preferred RSS reader. Whenever we publish a new article, update, or announcement it will automatically appear in the feed so you can stay informed without needing to manually check the website.</p> <p>The blog will become our central place for sharing updates about new features, infrastructure improvements, and development progress. We believe this will help us communicate more transparently and keep the community informed about what we are building.</p> <h2> Stay up to date </h2> <p>If you want to stay informed about new features, releases, and important announcements, we encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter.
