Rekor v2 - Cheaper to run, simpler to maintain
We are very excited to announce the alpha release of Rekor v2! Rekor v2 is a redesigned and modernized Rekor, Sigstore’s signature transparency log, transitioning its backend to a modern, tile-backed transparency log implementation to simplify maintenance and lower operational costs. Major changes include: A new storage backend, replacing Trillian with Trillian-Tessera. Tile-based logs are cheaper to run and easier to deploy, maintain and scale. To learn more about the benefits of tile-based logs, read this blog post A redesigned and simplified API, using the learnings from operating public-good Rekor over the past 2 years Stronger security guarantees that the log remains append-only by integrating witnessing directly into Rekor (To be implemented) For the initial release, we are providing a binary and container for developers.
