Engineering Notes
Tech Blog
Engineering notes from AiKey Labs — on AI key governance, AI-assisted engineering, credential security, and cost observability. We share what actually happens inside the systems, not the abstract version.
In the AI Era, Code Is No Longer Your Most Valuable Engineering Asset
Once AI drives down the cost of writing code, the assets that matter most shift from the existing codebase to concept models, business flows, SPECs, technical decisions, and the team's capacity to keep shipping.
Why We're Building an AI Coding Harness
AI doesn't lack generation capability — what's scarce is an engineering process that can be accepted, regressed, and reviewed.
Topics we're writing about
Vault & credential security
Zero-trust credential architecture: injection proxies, dynamic rotation, defending against leakage across LLM providers.
Routing & multi-model orchestration
Token-level scheduling, quota-aware routing, and keeping account-switching transparent in complex agent workflows.
FinOps & cost observability
A FinOps framework for the LLM era: input / output / cache token attribution, anomaly alerts, governance baselines.
