Can You Use Both?

Question

Can You Use Both?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is often the best setup.

Run Grype in your CI pipeline for fast gating at build time. Grype's speed, exit code behavior, and EPSS/KEV output make it a natural CI gate. A grype --fail-on critical check before merge catches the worst findings before they ship.

Layer GeekWala on top for team-facing visibility. The web dashboard, scan history, and scheduled monitoring give stakeholders and team leads the visibility they need without requiring everyone to read JSON output. Import the same lock files into a GeekWala project for ongoing monitoring.

This isn't tool duplication — it's separation of concerns. Grype is your developer-time gate. GeekWala is your team-time visibility layer.
