Case Study: Netdata achieves faster, more secure development with GitHub

Netdata accelerates their developer workflow with built-in security and open source

Netdata, the open source monitoring company with a global remote team, needed a way to scale development while managing growing security risks and keeping its fast-moving workflow efficient. To support its open source collaboration and developer productivity, Netdata used GitHub for repositories and teamwork, and later adopted GitHub Advanced Security and GitHub Actions.

GitHub helped Netdata catch vulnerabilities earlier with CodeQL, reduce false positives, and block insecure pull requests before merge, improving code quality and confidence. With GitHub Actions, the team also streamlined CI/CD and automated build testing, getting near-instant check updates and faster releases; cycle recovery times dropped to just a few days, and developers spent more time writing code.
