How to use the ActiveState Platform to manage dependencies with artifact repositories
This video shows how the ActiveState Platform can be used by developers to automate many time-consuming, manual dependency management tasks. To create your own Python environment with up-to-date, secure packages and their fully resolved dependencies, start by creating a free ActiveState Platform account.
While most modern package managers can help manage dependencies for smaller projects using a single language, their limitations become apparent as complexity increases. This video demonstrates how the ActiveState Platform can:
- Find & Fix Vulnerabilities: Get notified when a dependency becomes vulnerable, select a non-vulnerable version, rebuild the dependency, and repopulate the artifact repository automatically.
- Resolve Dependency Conflicts: Automatically resolve all dependencies and manually address conflicts to ensure error-free deployment.
- Secure Builds: Build dependencies securely from source code to ensure security and integrity.
Note: Secure, reproducible environments are available to all users, including free-tier users. However, advanced features like role-based access control and project branching require higher-tier subscriptions. Please contact us for more information.
