  1. grype

    A vulnerability scanner for container images and filesystems

    Project mention: Performance Test: Grype 0.70 vs Trivy 0.50 Scan Times – 15% Faster for Alpine Images | dev.to | 2026-04-28

    After 120+ benchmark runs across 6 Alpine image variants, 2 hardware configurations, and 3 CI environments, our verdict is clear: Grype 0.70 is 15% faster than Trivy 0.50 for Alpine-based container images, with identical vulnerability detection parity. For teams scanning Alpine images at scale, this speedup translates to thousands of dollars in CI compute savings and hundreds of engineer hours reclaimed per month. If you're only scanning Alpine images, migrate to Grype today—the 15% speedup is worth the migration effort for any team with more than 100 daily scans. For heterogeneous image stacks, Trivy remains the better all-in-one option. We recommend running the benchmark script we provided earlier on your own images to validate the speedup for your specific workload.
