Description:

We at redhat are working on developing a one stop solution for all kinds of insights that a developer needs during the development time. We use our extensive infrastructure couple with data curated by Redhat and security data provided by world leader 'Snyk', to provide accurate information to the developer about the packages that he/she might be using in their project. The report contains information like security vulnerabilities associated to the direct and transitive dependencies, its severity, corrective actions, the license compatibilities, stack license, outliers, insights on the packages being used like latest available version, popularity of the package and also AI powered insights on which are all the companion packages which we must be using. The best part is that the user gets all of this at his development time itself and its all free (open source).

Via this session, we want to educate all the developers how they can enhance their programming capabilities by using this extension. It would be a great learning curve for students or those who are just out of college as they get to know or learn about aspects of selecting a package in their project, which they usually are not aware of.

Prerequisites:

  • Vulnerabilities and security
  • Direct and transitive dependencies
  • IDE extensions
