Jamie Tanna @ Elastic - Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software
I've always been interested in the composition of Open Source and internal dependencies in my projects, and after years of wanting a way to query the data, I built it! Having access to this data has allowed me and my team to get a view of what our most popular languages or frameworks are, which packages we didn't heavily rely on and determine how many dependencies are using end-of-life software. This data has given my company's developers, leadership and the security team a better view of the landscape of our growing dependencies on Open Source, so we can appropriately upgrade, migrate, and support projects. In this talk, you'll learn that it's straightforward to do this yourself with Free and Open Source Software, as well as looking at some examples of the data that you can get out of this tooling for your own purposes.
