Ship It Weekly is a short, practical recap of what actually matters in DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering.Each episode, your host Brian Teller walks through the latest outages, releases, tools, and incident writeups, then translates them into “here’s what this means for your systems” instead of just reading headlines. Expect a couple of main stories with context, a quick hit of tools or releases worth bookmarking, and the occasional segment on on-call, burnout, or team culture.This isn’t a certification prep show or a lab walkthrough. It’s aimed at people who are already working in the spa...

Ship It Weekly turns infrastructure incidents, releases, and AI tooling into concrete questions about reliability, testing, ownership, and deployment safety.
Brian Teller treats infrastructure news as a set of operational decisions. Ship It Weekly moves between focused news recaps and interviews, covering CI security, certificate failures, Helm chart reliability, workflow automation flaws, and safer ways to test cloud systems.
A renewed certificate can still break your builds; Brian Teller makes you check the actual endpoint.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A migration story about making delivery faster without losing control of the load.
This episode tracks Stefan Moser of Pipedrive through a pragmatic migration story: moving from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, standing up a self-hosted runner platform on Kubernetes, and steering delivery work toward GitHub with Argo CD.
A practical look at why cloud emulators need failure semantics, not just API coverage.
Brian Teller and Ong Chen frame Project Vera as more than a polished demo. The conversation is strongest when it moves from broad claims about infrastructure testing into the messy details: state, disk attachment, VPC updates, and the failure cases that make real cloud behavior…
A plainspoken reminder that cloud readiness starts with fundamentals, practice, and business context.
Brian keeps the episode focused on a plain, useful point: people trying to break into cloud or DevOps usually need better fundamentals, more repetition, and a clearer grasp of the business problem, not more tools.
The boring glue is where outages, risks, and build breaks show up.
Glue-layer failures are the real story here. CI trigger rules, cert renewals, helm charts, and automation all sit close enough to the core that one small miss can turn into a supply chain risk, a global build break, or an RCE in the systems that hold credentials.
Practical AI automation for SMBs, with quick wins, human judgment, and day to day tradeoffs.
Ship It Weekly keeps its focus on practical AI automation for SMBs. Brian Teller frames the show around the realities of infrastructure and reliability, while Austin Reed of Horizon.dev keeps the discussion tied to actual workflows where revenue and daily operations are on the…
AI speeds up code, but shipping still asks for discipline.
This episode treats AI coding as an operations problem. Brian and Mike Ladey stay on day-two readiness, guardrails, branch protection, quality gates, and the line between AI-assisted development and AI taking actions in production.
Long-form interviews on AI coding agents, infrastructure, and security, plus a recurring SED News roundup.
Founders and engineers on AI coding agents like Claude Code, and supply chain security.
Stack Overflow's Ryan Donovan interviews founders and engineers on AI agents, protocols, and dev tools.
Michael Kennedy interviews Python maintainers on packaging, security, web tools, and AI.
Michael Kennedy and Brian Okken run down the week's Python tooling, typing, and packaging news.
Matt Stratton interviews DevOps practitioners on security, platform engineering, and trusting AI-written code.
Brian opens bluntly: AI can write code fast, but shipping it safely still has not gotten easier.
Brian opens with the familiar CI/CD pain.
A weekly news roundup covering the latest in DevOps, SRE, and cloud infrastructure, with analysis of AWS Interconnect, Cloudflare Mesh, and GitLab 19.0.
A special episode analyzing the security implications of Anthropic's Claude Mythos model and Project Glasswing, focusing on AI-driven exploit discovery and its impact on DevOps, cloud, and platform security.
Brian Teller interviews David Choot about the purpose and evolution of internal developer portals, focusing on automation and context over UI.
A weekly recap of DevOps, SRE, and cloud engineering news, analyzing outages, tools, and best practices for infrastructure reliability.
This episode explores how convenience in DevOps tools—like GitHub Actions, mutable tags, cloned images, and agent skills—often masks serious trust and security risks.
Brian Teller interviews Ang Chen, associate professor at the University of Michigan, about Project Vera — an AI-generated high-fidelity multi-cloud emulator that lets DevOps engineers test infrastructure locally without real credentials, billing, or blast radius.
Brian Teller discusses key DevOps and SRE news, starting with McKinsey's AI tool vulnerability as a lesson in internal risk, then covering Kafka's diskless architecture, Google's Wiz acquisition, AWS CLI changes, and Kubernetes's AI gateway developments, all framed around practical implications for infrastructure teams.
This episode of Ship It Weekly covers AI-related news in DevOps and SRE, including messy layoffs at Block, Meta's acquisition of Moltbook with security concerns, Atlassian's workforce moves, GitHub's outage analysis, and Claude's bug detection for Mozilla's Firefox.
