Instead of burdening your DevOps engineers to guess how developers setup a working environment, generate your automation scripts from the working environment
You thought it was an innocent library that helped you get to your goal. What you didn't know was that it pulled in a mountain of other packages, increasing your risk of security vulnerabilities. You can now visualize your package dependencies so you can make an informed decision about what packages you are using and whether you need to revisit them..
The current open source landscape has made it very easy to use freely available packages to build out your solution. Whether you use open source packages as libraries providing utilities to your software development process, or to provide some core functionality of your solution, you need to understand the dependencies you have in order to manage security, quality (bugs) and licenses.
Our dependency visualizer provides visibility to all your open source components that your software solution depends on. It exposes what those dependencies are, and what other packages they use, giving you a full view of dependency, vulnerability and how far behind those packages are from the current and latest releases.
In the quest to automate the Continuous Deployment process many DevOps teams struggle to streamline the initial baseline and changes to the architecture from developers. Traditionally DevOps teams require detailed documentation or spend a long time to reverse engineer a working environment that Developers use to develop features. This forces the teams to do things sequentially:
- Developers setup and tweek their dev environment until they are satisfied with their development
- DevOps engineers are either constantly reverse engineering that environment to develop their automation scripts (e.g. Terraform), or wait for developers to document what they have done to configure the working environment
This forces the teams to operate sequentially and that's not efficient.
Terraform Generator starts with a running environment and generates the Terraform scripts with the help of Developers and DevOps engineers to specify what they want to make configurable. Using Terraform Generator, teams can cut down the time to generate and update the scripts from days and weeks to minutes.
