BlackRock is passionate about open source software and aims to be a leader in financial technology. One of our significant contributions to open source is argo-events, an event-driven workflow automation framework for kubernetes. As part of the broader argo project, argo-events was accepted to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in March 2020 and graduated in December 2022.
In addition, BlackRock has supported open source by enabling our employees to author and contribute to open source projects including:
- argo-events - check out our KubeCon talk, "Automatic Research Workflows at BlackRock" (YouTube)
- kafka-security - "Utilizing OAuth for Kafka Security" (blog)
- OCIBuilder - "An Easy Button for Building OCI Container Images" (blog)
- LCSO - "Writing an Optimization Library in Rust" (blog)
