Minimal Base Images for Security: A Practical Guide
Minimal base images cut CVE counts by up to 95% by shipping only what your app needs. Here is how to choose between distroless, Wolfi, Alpine, and scratch — and build on each safely.
Pre-Commit Security Hooks: Catch Problems Before They're Committed
The cheapest place to catch a security issue is before the commit exists. Here is how to set up pre-commit security hooks that give developers instant feedback without slowing them down.
Securing CI/CD Secrets: OIDC, Scanning, and Short-Lived Credentials
