Dirac operates at the intersection of cloud software and heavy industry, providing mission-critical systems where reliability and strict security are non-negotiable. While relying heavily on open source enabled fast startup velocity for their flagship BuildOS platform, managing upstream vulnerabilities and base image upkeep created a significant operational burden. To reconcile rapid innovation with uncompromised security, Dirac adopted Chainguard. By leveraging minimal, secure-by-default container images free from unnecessary bloat and common vulnerabilities, Chainguard helped Dirac drastically shrink its attack surface, eliminate endless remediation toil, and effortlessly maintain rigorous security standards without ever sacrificing development speed or deployment agility.
