This eliminates manual approval queues and operations team bottlenecks. The architecture anchors trust in signed software statements rather than PKI certificates or bare JWKS endpoints, making key changes auditable and tamper-evident. Combined with private_key_jwt client authentication (avoiding mTLS's network coordination overhead), a developer's software can self-register and receive a working sender-constrained credential with no human in the loop. The broader lesson for API providers and governments alike: an ecosystem is defined not by the APIs published but by how cheaply a developer can get authorized to use them. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
