Case Study: Sourcegraph achieves zero-known CVEs with Chainguard Images

Sourcegraph reaches inbox zero for CVEs with Chainguard Images

Sourcegraph, a Code AI platform for developers, faced a significant challenge in managing Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) within their open-source dependencies. The process of detecting and remediating these security issues was extremely time-consuming, negatively impacting engineering resources and causing friction with customers who were hesitant to use new releases. They sought a solution from vendor Chainguard that could provide minimal, secure container images.

By adopting Chainguard Images, Sourcegraph immediately achieved "inbox zero" for CVEs, eliminating all known vulnerabilities for the first time in two years. This solution from Chainguard freed up engineering and customer success teams to focus on innovation, while also drastically reducing the patching delay for any future issues from weeks to just a couple of days, allowing for friction-free customer deployments.
