Description
Prowler is an Open Source security tool to perform AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes security best practices assessments, audits, incident response, continuous monitoring, hardening and forensics readiness, and also remediations! We have Prowler CLI (Command Line Interface) that we call Prowler Open Source and a service on top of it that we call Prowler SaaS.
This repository contains the REST API and Task Runner components for Prowler, which facilitate a complete backend that interacts with the Prowler SDK and is used by the Prowler UI.
Production deployment
Install all dependencies with Poetry
poetry install
poetry shell
Run the Django server with Gunicorn
cd src/backend
gunicorn -c backend/guniconf.py backend.wsgi:application
By default, the Gunicorn server will try to use as many workers as your machine can handle. You can manually change that in the
src/backend/backend/guniconf.pyfile.
