Ask HN: How many engineers have direct access to production where you work?

I've seen situations where everyone on the engineering team have direct SSH access to the production database and other cases where practically no one does, and everything is done through GitOps or similar peer-reviewed migrations. Curious what have you seen when it comes to production access?

A friend and I built a replacement for GitHub Trending that filters for repos that were created in the time range (rather than trending which ranked by stars in the time range regardless of creation date)

Re:Ask HN: IT Security Checklist for Startups? on Wednesday August 31, 2022 @02:23PM (#32666277)
We wrote up a starting five on our blog at Indent: https://indent.com/blog/security-for-startups-the-starting-f...

  1. Create a security policy — decide what does/doesn't matter
  2. Train employees on security — just do the basic stuff, but all the time (strong passwords, 2FA)
  3. Implement security measures — for what matters, take security very seriously
  4. Use single sign-on — whether it's Google SSO/Okta/etc, you'll thank yourself later
  5. Grant access on-demand — people generally don't need permanent access to sensitive systems, set up groups and grant people time-bounded roles
