Chainguard doubled container build manifests to over 1 billion in six months, powered by Factory 2.0's agentic self-correcting rebuild system.

Chainguard reports growing from 500 million to over 1 billion container build manifests in six months, across more than 3,000 unique images and 675,000 image versions. Its Factory 2.0 system, built on the purpose-built Chainguard OS, uses an agentic reconciliation engine called DriftlessAF to decide when to rebuild across thousands of interdependent projects without human intervention. All artifacts ship with SLSA Level 3 provenance, Sigstore signatures, and full SBOMs.

Key facts
  • Catalog grew from 500M to 1B+ build manifests in six months
  • Factory 2.0 layers agentic AI reconciliation onto deterministic automation
  • Artifacts ship with SLSA L3 provenance, Sigstore signatures, SBOMs
