CI/CD
Using security in the pipeline:
This project uses GitHub actions for code and docker image security scanning
This is done alongside deployment, patching & linting tools for high quality code
Findings are shown in PR comments or documented on the repository security page
Fixable vulnerabilities are surfaced first through configurations in the actions pipelines
