Our take
Developers looking to actively work with open-source software face several barriers to entry in terms of accessing, integrating, and ultimately utilizing open-source technologies. In a bid to lower such barriers, Stacklok harnesses the power of open-source projects - like sigstore - to deliver enterprise-grade solutions to developers.
Software supply chain security is an absolute priority across software ecosystems, thus the necessity for a supply chain ledger with observability and transparency is paramount to building trust within the vast open-source ecosystem.
The experience of Stacklok’s Co-Founders – who have founded projects such as Kubernetes, sigstore, and Heptio (acquired by VMware) – and its impressive backing have the recently launched project well set to see accelerated growth and adoption.
