The presentation discusses the development of an open source ingestion system for the npm ecosystem using AWS eks and Tecton pipelines.
- The system runs various checks on packages, including the Intel scorecard check and signature verification.
- The system also checks for vulnerabilities and runs policy checks using Opa.
- Failed packages are either denied or put into quarantine.
- Provenance is created using Tecton chains and stored in DynamoDB.
- The system is still in early alpha and feedback is welcome.
