Month: 2025-09 | Repository: l3montree-dev/devguard Overview: In September, the devguard team delivered high-impact features focused on security, reliability, and developer productivity, while addressing critical fixes and updating core tooling to support faster, safer releases. Key features delivered: - SBOM Reporting Enhancements: added ecosystems/licenses statistics, artifact names, and loading/formatting improvements to SBOM reports, enabling clearer risk assessment and regulatory visibility. - Vulnerability DB Import Refactor: refactored the vulnerability import workflow to use shadow tables and parallel upserts, reducing lock contention and downtime during large imports. - PostgreSQL Deployment moved to StatefulSet: migrated from Deployment to StatefulSet for stable identifiers and persistent storage; tests updated accordingly. - Kubernetes Helm Chart Network Policies: introduced explicit network policies to control traffic among web, API, Kratos, and PostgreSQL, strengthening security posture. - CI/CD Tooling, Go & Lint Upgrades: upgraded Go to 1.25.0, refreshed CI workflows, lint tool versions, and security scanning configurations; added secret-scan allowances. Notes: SBOM metadata naming correction and vulnerability dependency query fix were completed as targeted improvements, addressing key reliability and accuracy issues. Impact and outcomes: - Reduced operational risk and downtime due to architectural refinements and parallel processing. - Improved regulatory/compliance visibility through richer SBOM data. - Strengthened security posture across environments with explicit network policies and updated tooling. - Enabled faster iteration cycles through streamlined CI/CD and language/tooling upgrades. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Kubernetes (StatefulSet, Helm), network policies, and Helm charts - PostgreSQL deployment and data persistence strategies - Go language upgrades (Go 1.25.x), CI/CD modernization, linting, and security scanning - SBOM tooling, vulnerability management, and secure development practices
