Why ActiveState
We solve what enterprises need for continuous delivery/integration (CD/CI) of open source runtimes because we’ve got you covered from concept, through to development and into production.
1. Concept: Coders can better test proof of concepts because we remove problems due to dependencies and security holes in libraries.
2. Development: Coders across departments and disciplines can standardize with a common build for their specific use. This means less problems when integrating code from different departments, less friction and more speed.
3. Beyond Development: We’re unique in providing all of the above PLUS verifying your applications at runtime, baking security right into your products without impacting performance.
