  • go-recipes

    Project mention: 2023 update to go-recipes collection | /r/golang | 2023-06-06
  • kube-linter

    KubeLinter is a static analysis tool that checks Kubernetes YAML files and Helm charts to ensure the applications represented in them adhere to best practices.

    Project mention: Dealing with Yaml files | /r/kubernetes | 2023-07-05

    Kube linter would be a first citizen for your need https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter. If you use Helm would be Helm linter as well. Kube score is another interesting tool offering you best practices patterns. I usually develop with vscode and have a Yaml + Kubernetes extension. These could be enough to help you get through. Nevertheless, consider adopting a skaffold with a k3s for a faster feedback on the local dev lifecycle.

  • gokart

    A static analysis tool for securing Go code

  • nilaway

    Static Analysis tool to detect potential Nil panics in Go code

    Project mention: Practical nil panic detection for Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-18

    We'd be interested in the general characteristics of the most common ones you are seeing. If you have a chance to file a couple issues (and haven't done so yet): https://github.com/uber-go/nilaway/issues

    We definitely have gotten some useful reports there already since the blog post!

    We are aware of a number of sources of false positives and actively trying to drive them down (prioritizing the patterns that are common in our codebase, but very much interested in making the tool useful to others too!).

    Some sources of false positives are fundamental (any non-trivial type system will forbid some programs which are otherwise safe in ways that can't be proven statically), others need complex in-development features for the tool to understand (e.g. contacts, such as "foo(...) returns nil iff its third argument is nil"), and some are just a matter of adding a library model or similar small change and we just haven't run into it ourselves.

  • bearer

    Code security scanning tool (SAST) to discover, filter and prioritize security and privacy risks.

  • sqlvet

    Go fearless SQL. Sqlvet performs static analysis on raw SQL queries in your Go code base.

    Project mention: Enabling static analysis of SQL queries at Meta | /r/programming | 2023-02-06

    I found a linter in go for sql https://github.com/houqp/sqlvet that uses the postgres front end to evaluate queries for syntactic errors and potential sql injection a while back and I now find even more confidence in my opinion that ORM is a waste of time.
