Postgres: The Graph Database You Didn't Know You Had
It scaled well compared to a naive graph abstraction implemented outside the database, but when performance wasn't great, it REALLY wasn't great. We ended up throwing it out in later versions to try and get more consistent performance.
I've since worked on SpiceDB[1] which takes the traditional design approach for graph databases and simply treating Postgres as triple-store and that scales far better. IME, if you need a graph, you probably want to use a database optimized for graph access patterns. Most general-purpose graph databases are just bags of optimizations for common traversals.

Automatically tag your Docker images as vulnerable in ECR
Amazon Elastic Container Registry is a fully-managed Docker container registry. It makes it easy for developers to store and manage Docker images inside their AWS environment. ECR supports two types of image scanning. Enhanced image scanning requires an integration with Amazon Inspector. It will scan your repositories continuously. Basic image scanning will use the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) database (open-source Clair) to find vulnerabilities in your images. You can trigger scans on image push or manually.

How to leverage image vulnerability scanning on AWS ECR using a fully automated solution
AWS Elastic Container Registry has been able to support the scanning of images for vulnerabilities using the open source project Clair for quite some time now. Clair is an open source project used for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in application containers (currently including OCI and Docker). Made available by AWS directly and implemented into ECR, it is a very useful feature to minimize the risk of using endangered software - and stay compliant. The scanning for vulnerabilities should be a good standard in any Dockerized scenario as public images and their heirs can contain many security risks (Top-ten-docker-images) - which might be overlooked while developing applications that are constantly changed and improved - and new versions of images are pushed to your ECR many times a day.

Hosting my own docker registry, any recommendations on UI and authentication service?
I use Quay and quite like it. It's a lot more flexible to deploy than Harbor. It has a web UI and connects to LDAP or OIDC. You can also add vulnerability scanning to it as well with Clair. The one downside is that it doesn't support a pull-through cache system like Harbor does (to my knowledge), though you can explicitly mirror containers from another source.

Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
kube-bench checks whether Kubernetes is deployed securely by running the checks documented in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. We can deploy kube-bench as a Job that runs daily and consume its report in CI/CD to pass or fail the pipeline based on the level of severity.

Top 6 Kubernetes Security Tools
Kube-bench, written as a Go application, is deployable as a container. Ready-made job.yaml files make it easy to run Kube-bench inside a Kubernetes cluster or on a managed Kubernetes service, such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), or OpenShift. Here's a link to Kube-Bench on Github
