Socket Is Sponsoring Composer and Packagist
Brief
Socket is a launch sponsor of the new Composer and Packagist sponsorship program , announced by Nils Adermann, Jordi Boggiano, and the team that keeps PHP's package infrastructure running.
Like many other widely used open source registries, Packagist has been under mounting pressure to sustain critical infrastructure as the demands on it grow.
"Usage keeps rising, supply chain attacks have increased in both frequency and sophistication, regulatory and compliance requirements around software supply chains are expanding, and AI accelerates both legitimate consumption and attacks," Packagist founders Adermann and Boggiano said.
For the first time, Packagist is expanding its funding beyond Private Packagist, the maintainers' own commercial product, which has covered most of the cost along with donated infrastructure.
