Platform Beta Open for You, Message From Our CEO and More!

What a Year!

We’ve been working hard on delivering additional value to our customers and open source developers to solve these two key pain points:

  • Developers waste time retrofitting open source languages for security, licenses and dependencies
  • Management can’t gauge risk

Take a look at what we've been up to!

[Survey Report] Get our 2018 Developer Survey, the first to focus on open source runtimes

This year ActiveState ran a developer survey to better understand open source runtime pains. Here are some highlights:

Developers waste time retrofitting:

  • 44% reported they only spend two to four hours a day programming
  • 74% said they spend most or part of their time each week managing dependencies and development tools

Management can’t gauge risk:

  • 47% reported that stability – building new releases that behave the same as old releases – is a significant concern
  • 50 % said security was a chief concern

[Video] Hear our CEO talk about his vision for open source languages

In less than 2 minutes, hear our CEO & President, Bart Copeland, talk about our SaaS Platform for open source languages and why he’s so passionate about solving key paint points faced by developers and management.

Straight out of the gate he tells you how “polyglot is killing the enterprise” and how “we believe you can get all the benefits of many open source languages without the headaches”.


[Blog] Read about the Advent of Open Source Language Automation

After more than 20 years building open source languages for 97% of the Fortune 1000 and millions of developers, we’ve seen first-hand that ‘polyglot is killing the enterprise’.

Enterprises are unable to gauge the risk of their polyglot environments and are taxed with developers wasting time retrofitting languages.

Developers are working with manual and disparate solutions; they spend less time coding than they do everything else.

So we made a pledge to resolve the challenges with polyglot environments.


[Product How Tos] Jupyter Notebooks, tracking code and more

Our SaaS Platform for open source languages was released in May, enabling runtime security of Python code. Plus, you can get a bill of materials of your language code, open source language artifacts and get notified about new vulnerabilities and where impacted language code is running.
