Falco Plugins is a registry and monorepo that serves as the central hub for the Falco Plugin ecosystem.

The project addresses the need for a unified catalog and distribution point for Falco plugins. It operates as both a comprehensive registry of plugins recognized by The Falco Project, regardless of where their source code lives, and as a monorepo hosting official plugins maintained by The Falco Project itself. This dual approach allows the community to discover plugins through a single authoritative source while ensuring that official plugins benefit from robust release and distribution processes managed centrally.

The tool suits organizations and developers already using Falco who need to extend its capabilities through plugins. It is particularly valuable for those seeking official, well-maintained plugins with guaranteed release processes, as well as for plugin developers who want their work discovered and recognized by the broader Falco community. The registry accepts contributions from external developers and provides documentation on how to register plugins, making it accessible to the wider ecosystem beyond just Falco Project-maintained code.

The project maintains an active development presence with regular updates to the registry metadata and ongoing management of official plugins. The codebase is written in Go and the registry itself is defined in a structured YAML file that automatically generates documentation, indicating a commitment to keeping plugin information current and accessible.
