This episode of Ship It Weekly is about trusted tools becoming production dependencies. Brian covers a rough GitHub supply chain week, including the compromised Nx Console VS Code extension tied to exposed GitHub internal repositories and the Megalodon campaign abusing GitHub Actions workflows across thousands of public repos.

The bigger thread this week is that the tools around production are increasingly part of production. Brian also covers Railway’s GCP account suspension outage, Discord’s voice outage during a Kubernetes migration, AWS changing SDK retry behavior, CVE-2026-9133 in the RabbitMQ AWS plugin, and a Reddit story about stolen AWS keys turning into a $14,000 Bedrock bill.

Brian also touches on OpenTelemetry graduating from the CNCF, Claude Code security risk, GitLab Secrets Manager, Google Cloud AI spend caps, and a Redshift Python driver RCE.
