  1. Security Fundamentals Your ODC Apps Already Need:Security is still essential regardless of whether an application is built by developers or generated with AI. In this article by Mohammed Ezzarfani, you’ll learn about key security fundamentals for OutSystems ODC applications, including API authentication, webhook verification, credential protection, JWTs, password hashing, digital signatures, certificates, and key management. The article also introduces an Advanced Security Toolkit designed to provide additional cryptographic capabilities for ODC applications.
  2. AI-Powered Frontend Development in OutSystems O11 and ODC: António Carvalho explores how AI agents can be used alongside TypeScript, JavaScript, and CSS to build and evolve frontend components outside of Service Studio. The article presents a practical approach using an “iceberg architecture” and explores how technologies such as MCP can connect AI-powered development tools with applications, offering a different way to extend and maintain OutSystems O11 and ODC frontends.
  3. How We Made Large Excel Upload Validation Fast in OutSystems by Moving the Work to SQL: Large Excel uploads can create performance challenges when every row triggers multiple database calls. In this article by Jagannath Mestry, you’ll learn how to make bulk Excel validation more scalable by converting the uploaded data to JSON, sending it to SQL in a single database call, and using set-based SQL operations such as joins, grouping, and duplicate detection. The approach reduces database round trips while keeping OutSystems responsible for the application workflow and SQL responsible for data-intensive processing.

  3. New OutSystems Agentic AI Specialization Sample Exam — Commented (September 2026)
    João Simões walks through a sample exam for the new OutSystems Agentic AI Specialization, providing commentary and explanations to help readers understand the concepts and types of questions covered.

  4. Designing Agentic OutSystems Architectures: Where Should AI Authority End?
    This article, by OutSystems MVP Nuno Rolo, explores how to design agentic architectures in OutSystems while establishing appropriate boundaries for AI autonomy. It examines the balance between giving AI agents enough authority to perform useful work and retaining human and application-level controls over important decisions, with a focus on architecture, governance, security, and responsible use of agentic AI.
