How to use the ActiveState Platform for modern open source package management
This video provides a quick overview of how the ActiveState Platform can be used by developers working with open source languages like Python, Perl, Tcl, or Ruby.
To create your own runtime environment, featuring up-to-date, secure packages and their fully resolved dependencies, start by creating a free ActiveState Platform account.
Key Features of the ActiveState Platform
- Unified Tooling – A single tool that automatically builds all packages from source (including linked C libraries) and simplifies the creation and management of virtual environments.
- Environment Reproducibility – Shared, consistent Python, Perl, Ruby, and Tcl runtime environments deployable on any system with a single command.
- Vulnerability Remediation – Identify vulnerable components, upgrade/downgrade them, and automatically rebuild secure runtime environments for CI/CD pipelines.
- Advanced Dependency Management – Automated dependency resolution and simple solutions to dependency conflicts.
- Workflow Integration – Provides secure, prebuilt Python, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl runtimes for Dev and CI/CD environments, ensuring application integrity.
By automating these tasks, developers can focus on coding rather than troubleshooting. Try it out to see how easy dependency management can be.
Note: Creating secure, reproducible environments is available to all users of the ActiveState Platform, including free tier users. Advanced features, like role-based access control and project branching, are available in higher tiers. Create your account or Contact us for a demo.
