Smallstep is building proper production identity. We are making it possible for every developer, operator, and logical system component (microservice, container, cron job, function, VM, device, etc) to have a strong cryptographic identity that can be used to securely communicate with everything else no matter what or where it is located. The smallstep solution is standards-based with an open-source core and includes workflows to make Dev/Sec/Ops teams work seamlessly.
