It’s much easier to shift left these days than it’s probably ever been, as several vendors — such as GitHub, Snyk and others — offer solutions that help to bake things like code scanning into the development process.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Shifting left in software development, which involves implementing testing earlier in the development lifecycle, has become mainstream for developers. GitHub is playing a significant role in enabling developers to shift left and improve security through features like code scanning autofix. Other vendors like Snyk and GitGuardian also offer solutions to support shifting left and enhance security practices in software development.
