Open source software has become a key standard for developing modern applications. From common coding libraries to orchestrating container-based computing, organizations now rely on open source software—and the open standards that define them—for essential functions throughout their software stack. What is open source software?

But with many organizations relying on traditional, manual processes to ensure service reliability and code quality, software delivery speed suffers. Moreover, it takes an average of nine hours for a software engineer to remediate a problem within a production application.

Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?

Zero day refers to security vulnerabilities that are discovered in software when teams had “zero days” to work on an update or a patch to remediate the issue and, hence, are already at risk. If a malicious attacker can identify a key software vulnerability, they can exploit the vulnerability, allowing them to gain access to your systems.
