Paladin Cloud tackles the pressing challenge of security vulnerabilities within a company’s cloud environment. By effectively identifying and eliminating these blind spots, it enhances cloud security. The solution leverages an open-source, security-as-code platform designed specifically for developers and security teams, ensuring a robust defense against potential cyber threats.
The generic “we provide a security platform where one size fits all” approach no longer works. Each cloud, each system, and each cloud-hosted platform, codebase, and application comes with its own set of vulnerabilities. With many enterprises accelerating their move to the cloud, “a holistic approach” to cloud security is the only way to ensure real protection for business assets. And Paladin Cloud’s founders wanted to deliver just that with a powerful and impactful security solution, where it’s open-source genesis would be its most incredible strength.
After Paladin Cloud raised its Seed funding, our engagement focused on helping them with their product innovation:

Our clients love what we do:

Paladin Cloud
The founding team had a clear vision to minimize the time to value. We worked with the founding team to create methodologies to ensure that users would be able to complete the installation and start securing their cloud in under 60 minutes.
We helped Paladin Cloud expand its plugin-based architecture. The objective was to make its core adaptable and extensible to prepare not just for a variety of use cases, but to easily integrate with a company’s multi and hybrid cloud product strategy that would extend into an enterprise SaaS solution.
We helped develop proper documentation both in and outside the repository as it plays a crucial role in driving adoption for an open-source project. Documentation minimizes the time spent on addressing fundamental questions from the community, allowing engineers to focus on larger issues raised. In partnership with the Head of Developer Success, wiki and user guides became a critical feature of the product and an essential area of collaboration.
We also collaborated with the Paladin Cloud team to encourage community interactions and discussions. We used Gitter, Slack, and GitHub to encourage feedback and facilitate improvements.
We supported Paladin’s team in setting up pull requests and issue templates with pre-populated information. These templates helped users capture the appropriate information about an issue quickly, and enabled us resolve them faster.
As part of the deliverables, we also co-generated a CONTRIBUTING.md file with information for the community about any development/release standards that they expected to follow. This provided clarity to the users and helped to align on best practices being followed in the repository.
We worked with the customer team to create branching strategies that defined how they plan to release particular versions of their solution. This helped users prepare for what’s to come and plan their usage. During every new release, the team ensured that they highlighted the changes made in for the new release to mitigate surprises.
A robust Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is non-negotiable for any product. We used it to ensure shorter feedback loops and to steadily make progress on product development milestones. It helped avoid long pull request times and the need to manually test each community-raised pull request before processing it, streamlining development even further.
