SharePoint Online Drops One Time Passcode for External Access
From July 2026. SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business will use Entra B2B Collaboration (guest accounts) to control external access to shared files.

Scaling API Ingestion with the Queue-of-Work Pattern
The queue-of-work pattern enables massive parallelism for API ingestion by breaking large jobs into thousands of independent work items processed by concurrent workers. This approach reduced data ingestion time for our use case from 15 hours to under 2 hours while providing automatic retry handling and fault tolerance at a fraction of the cost of traditional orchestration tools.
