The AI-powered factory rebuilding open source
Reconciler bots and AI agents run continuously across our entire catalog — so every artifact you get from Chainguard meets the same security standard.
Why we built it
A factory built for what's coming.
Modern security demands artifacts that are always up to date, and the only way to deliver that at scale is to rebuild them, automatically, around the clock. So we built a factory that does exactly that. Thousands of artifacts, every shape your team needs, all kept current to the same hardened standard.
TRUST IN EVERY PHASE OF THE SDLC
Code safely with agents
Build with trusted artifacts
Ship through trusted CI
Powered by Chainguard Factory
An agentic software factory run by open source experts.
Why the Factory earns its trust
Every layer of the supply chain has its own attack surface. The Factory applies a specific control to each.
SHA-pinned source inputs
Every build starts with an immutable SHA reference to the upstream source. If a maintainer's account is compromised and bad code is ingested, we detect it immediately.
Cryptographic verification end-to-end
We sign every artifact we ship. If anyone tampers with it in transit or in a registry, the signature breaks and you catch it.
Built from source in an isolated environment
Every package is rebuilt from source in an isolated SLSA L3 environment on our own minimal OS, no pre-built binary can ingest malicious code into your stack.
Supervisor / guest separation
The privileged orchestration code is strictly isolated from untrusted upstream code during builds. Even if that code is malicious, it can't reach our signing keys.
Bitwise reproducibility
Every image is rebuilt with a separate apko toolchain to produce a bitwise-equivalent result. An attacker would have to compromise both to evade detection.
Production hygiene
Stolen credentials become useless within 24 hours. Hardware-key MFA can't be phished. Even authorized users get flagged the moment access looks unusual.
