Golang developers care a lot about security and as Go modules become more widely used, they need more ways to assure these publicly shared files are safe. One unique feature included with Golang version 1.13 is the foresight that went into authentication and security for Go modules. When a developer creates a new module or a new version of an existing module, a go.sum file included there creates a list of SHA-256 hashes that are unique to that module version.

In the holiday spirit, we’re bringing a little cheer to the Golang community by celebrating the achievements of some noteworthy Go module authors. We’re excited to launch a new program within JFrog GoCenter that honors select “Top Gophers.” Using key metrics of success such as number of downloads and imports, quality metrics, and usage in GoCenter, we aim to highlight projects that we think are really helping improve software development for the Go developer community.

In recent weeks, some of the most recognizable companies in the DevOps space have had their foundations rattled, perhaps shaking developer confidence. The acquisition of Docker Enterprise by Mirantis, the acquisition of Sonatype (Nexus) by a capital firm and the open-sourcing of Quay by Red Hat leave many development shops wondering what will happen next with their strategic tool choices.

JFrog is excited to announce it has expanded its DevOps offerings on the AWS Marketplace to include the most advanced Container Registry in the market, and an advanced Universal DevSecOps solution allowing developers to invent the best code ever while leaving the overhead to us. In this blog, we will introduce our latest offerings – JFrog Container Registry and Cloud Pro X.
