Infrabase▲142We too at first thought that letting an LLM manage your AWS account must be a bad idea. What could possibly go wrong?? However we couldn’t resist building it, and when we did, we were surprised how much it can do even in plain vanilla form, which currently is just the ai-sdk frontend with some aws sdk code generation (inspared by aws-mcp). We all but stopped using the AWS console internally and switched to Infrabase - a lot of the time it’s much faster to prompt than to click around in AWS console, especially for things that involve multiple steps, IAM roles, etc. So we started to think of…

Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

I've launched the new product, xhr.dev (https://xhr.dev/) The initial product is a 1 line code integration that does bot detection avoidance via a forward proxy. Ideal customer is someone who gets blocked by anti-bot defences like cloudflare or other captcha challenges. Usually these customers have web scraping use cases. You can view our historical performance on our status page (https://status.xhr.dev). ty v much, john

I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

There is a growing problem with VSCode extensions: - they're not sandboxed (yet) - just like double-clicking an .exe file - they don't have a permission model - they auto update - they have built-in persistence - they are installed on developer machines with high-value credentials The recent CircleCI and LastPass incidents were both suspected to originate from a compromised developer machine - which is becoming every organization's Achilles heel in terms of cyber posture So I've been working on a way to help mitigate some of these risks Right now, only an MVP of a "CLI" is available: $ code…
