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 space and want to stay sharp without scrolling status pages, cloud updates, and blogs all week. You’ll hear about things like cloud provider incidents, Kubernetes and platform trends, Terraform and infrastructure changes, and real postmortems that are actually worth your time.
Most episodes are 15–30 minutes, so you can catch up on the way to work or between meetings. Every now and then there will be a “special” focused on a big outage or a specific theme, but the default format is simple: what happened, why it matters, and what you might want to do about it in your own environment.
If you’re the person people DM when something is broken in prod, or you’re building the cloud and platform everyone else ships on top of, Ship It Weekly is meant to be in your rotation.
Meet Brian Teller
Brian is the host of Ship It Weekly and the builder behind Teller's Tech, a media and training platform focused on DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and the real-world work of keeping production systems alive.
Brian started Ship It Weekly because most tech news says what happened—but not always why it matters to the people on-call when the headline becomes their incident.
