This episode of Ship It Weekly is about the quiet platform work that keeps things safe before they break. Brian covers GitHub Actions hardening in Kubernetes-related repos, Airbnb’s safer config rollouts, Cloudflare’s zero-downtime Rust restarts, Amazon ECS Managed Daemons, and HCP Terraform access controls with IP allow lists and temporary AWS permission delegation.
