VulnGraph vs Snyk
Dependency and code scanning, meet cross-service architecture intelligence.
Snyk is a mature SCA and SAST platform: it excels at finding known-vulnerable dependencies (CVEs) and code issues within a single service, backed by a large vulnerability database. VulnGraph works a layer up — it maps how your services connect and tracks how untrusted data flows across service and repository boundaries. They solve different problems, and most teams get the most value running both.

When Snyk fits
Choose Snyk when your priority is catching known-vulnerable dependencies and per-service code issues with a deep CVE database and broad language coverage.
When VulnGraph fits
Choose VulnGraph when risk lives between services — injection or trust-boundary paths that span repositories, blast radius, and AI-agent access that single-service tools can't see.
Using them together
Run both: Snyk for dependency and per-service code hygiene, VulnGraph for the cross-service and cross-repo paths. VulnGraph exports SARIF, so its findings sit alongside Snyk's in GitHub Code Scanning.
