Inside the AWS Outage, Docker Compose in Production, F1 Hacks and 86,000 npm Packages Attacks

Welcome to this week’s edition of the DevOps Bulletin!

A recent 14-hour AWS us-east-1 outage took down 140 services after a DNS race condition in DynamoDB spiraled out of control. Palo Alto’s Unit42 uncovered a cloud-based gift card fraud campaign, and researchers exploited bugs in the FIA portal to access F1 driver data. Meanwhile, npm faced another supply-chain attack, with over 86,000 malicious packages downloaded.

Cloudflare detailed how it’s escaping the Linux networking stack, AWS quietly deprecated two dozen services, and Netflix revealed how Tudum supports 20M+ users using CQRS.

On the hands-on side: Docker Compose in production, ArgoCD for multi-cluster deployments, detecting bad images in S3 with Rekognition, and TDD with Terraform. Plus, why for some workloads, Postgres can beat Kafka.

Tools of the week: WhoDB (chat-based DB explorer), LME (CISA’s free SIEM), Grype (vulnerability scanner), Kanchi (Celery monitor), Bruin (data pipeline), and Nyno (multi-language workflow engine).
