DevSecOps - Kubernetes DevOps & Security
DevSecOps Pipeline
Tools and Technologies for other Programming Languages
In modern DevSecOps workflows, integrating static analysis and security-scanning tools early in the development cycle helps catch vulnerabilities, enforce best practices, and maintain code quality. Below is an overview of top tools—both multi-language and ecosystem-specific—so you can tailor your toolchain to your tech stack.
Quick Reference Table
| Language / Framework | Security & Analysis Tools | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Spring Boot (Java) | OWASP Dependency-Check, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit | Dependency vulnerability scanning, code quality metrics |
| Python | Bandit, Safety, Sonatype Lift | Security linting, license checks |
| Node.js | Node.js Scan, npm-check, ClearlyDefined | CVE detection, dependency updates, license data |
| PHP | Sonatype Lift, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit | SAST, code quality, open-source compliance |
| .NET | Retire.NET, Puma Scan, .NET Security Guard | NuGet package audit, rule-based analysis |
| Ruby / Rails | Brakeman, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit | Rails-specific SAST, code metrics, dependency scanning |
Note
Prioritize integrating both ecosystem-specific tools (e.g., Brakeman for Rails) and multi-language platforms (e.g., SonarQube) to get comprehensive coverage.
Tool Breakdown by Ecosystem
Spring Boot (Java)
- OWASP Dependency-Check
Scan Maven and Gradle dependencies for known CVEs. - SonarQube
Continuous inspection of code quality and security hotspots. - OSS Review Toolkit (ORT)
