Research & Innovation Laboratory
An independent research laboratory dedicated to advancing software development through rigorous experimentation, technical analysis, and innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges.
TM Dev Lab is an independent research laboratory focused on advancing the state of software engineering through systematic investigation, rigorous experimentation, and open publication of findings. We explore emerging technologies, design patterns, and architectural approaches with scientific methodology, documenting both successes and failures to contribute to the broader engineering community.
Controlled investigations of emerging technologies and architectural patterns using empirical methods
In-depth technical analysis, comparative studies, and exploration of complex software engineering challenges
Development of novel tools and frameworks based on research findings and experimental results
Comprehensive performance analysis of MCP server implementations across Java, Go, Node.js, and Python. Testing 3.9 million requests over three benchmark rounds to measure latency, throughput, resource efficiency, and production-readiness characteristics under controlled load conditions.
Read more →A self-hosted gateway for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling organizations to securely connect AI agents to MCP servers with tool governance, multi-tenant isolation, credential injection, and full observability. Built with Rust and Vue 3.
Read more →Third installment in the Production-Ready MCP series. Comprehensive analysis of Zero Trust architecture for MCP ecosystems, covering threat models, OAuth 2.1 flows, policy engines (OPA/Cedar), gateway security controls, supply chain verification, and enterprise implementation patterns for securing autonomous AI agents.
Read more →Second installment in the Production-Ready MCP series. Comprehensive examination of gateway patterns for agentic systems, federated registry architectures for service discovery, distributed systems patterns (Ambassador, BFF), and comparative analysis of production implementations from Microsoft, Docker, Kong, and Cloudflare.
Read more →First post in the Production-Ready MCP series. Technical analysis of Model Context Protocol server scalability, examining the transition from SSE to Streamable HTTP and distributed session management with Redis in Kubernetes environments.
