Goliat: open-source self-hosted dashboard for Azure inventory and FinOps

The developer has released Goliat Cloud Inventory, an open-source MIT-licensed tool for managing Azure resources across multiple subscriptions. It offers 73 inventory views grouped into 12 service categories, with filtering, search, and export, plus FinOps cost analysis drawn from Azure Cost Management. The tool runs self-hosted in the user's own tenant with read-only access. Its architecture separates data collection, performed by an Azure Function that publishes a versioned JSON snapshot to Blob Storage, from a Next.js dashboard that imports it into PostgreSQL. The project emphasizes security through managed identities, least-privilege roles, and fail-closed authentication.

New CLI tool checks AI coding agents' claims of passing tests

A developer grew tired of AI coding assistants declaring that all tests passed when the tests had not actually run, been skipped, or been altered to succeed. To address this, they built BuildProof, a command-line tool that sits between the AI agent and a code repository. The tool accepts a change only when the real test suite runs and passes, treating any ambiguous result as a failure, and it detects tampering such as weakened assertions or skipped tests. Rejected changes are rolled back, and accepted runs receive ed25519-signed certificates that anyone can verify. The author is seeking feedback on ways an agent might still slip a fake pass past the gate, and the tool offers a 14-day free trial with paid plans starting at $15 per month.

TUF Update Security Depends on Clients Enforcing Its Trust State

The Update Framework treats software repositories as potentially hostile, so it does not assume mirrors or CDNs will serve the newest or intended files. It uses signed metadata roles and defines checks that updaters must carry out, guarding against rollback, freeze, and mix-and-match attacks. Protection holds only when key custody is separated, such as keeping the root key offline and rotating keys through a planned path. Clients must persist their highest trusted version and expiration state, and reject expired timestamp metadata rather than treating a silent mirror as proof of no update. Operators should also validate file lengths and hashes, bound download sizes, and carefully review delegations to avoid overly broad authorization.

Cloud cost cleanup cuts one AWS account's monthly bill from $24,000 to $9,800

A team documented how they reduced the monthly spend of a single AWS account from $24,000 to $9,800 without changing the product or its users. Their changes included consistent resource naming, tagging for ownership and cost tracking, and consolidating active resources into two regions. They also removed orphaned resources through a quarterly cleanup, tightened log retention and production log levels, and right-sized databases and backup settings. Finally, they bought reserved capacity and Savings Plans for stable workloads, keeping on-demand pricing for variable demand. The author argues the gap came down to sustained attention to spending rather than any difference in technical quality.
