Case Study: StartApp achieves developer-led security and faster releases with Snyk

StartApp developers choose Snyk for its seamless integration to the developers workflow

StartApp, an insight-driven mobile technologies company, struggled with an open source security solution that developers found too complex and intrusive. Seeking a tool that fit seamlessly into their workflow, StartApp adopted Snyk — using Snyk’s open source security capabilities and GitLab integration so developers could monitor and fix issues without leaving their usual tools.

Snyk was rolled out quickly via GitLab merge request scans, with multi-language support for JavaScript, Python and Java, immediate in-IDE feedback, and automated remediation suggestions. The result: fast adoption across teams (the Data team rolled it out company-wide in days), developers taking ownership of security, a faster development cycle thanks to quicker scans and fixes, and teams reaching nearly zero vulnerabilities.
