FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my application architecture against 12-factor methodology?

To audit your application architecture against 12-factor methodology, provide your codebase path for a detailed analysis. The Skill uses pattern matching and code scanning to evaluate all 12 factors, generating a report with Strong, Partial, or Weak compliance ratings for each category.

What does 12-factor compliance assessment check for in cloud-native apps?

A 12-factor compliance assessment checks cloud-native apps for proper codebase management, dependency declaration, configuration separation, backing services, and build/release/run stages. It also validates processes, port binding, concurrency, disposability, dev/prod parity, logging, and admin process execution.

Can I use a 12-factor code audit to evaluate microservices before deployment?

Yes, you can use a 12-factor code audit to evaluate microservices before deployment. It assesses adherence to cloud-native best practices by scanning the application architecture, identifying compliance levels, and providing actionable improvement recommendations with specific code examples.

How do I identify configuration and dependency declaration issues in my codebase?

You identify configuration and dependency declaration issues by running a 12-factor methodology analysis on your codebase. The Skill scans your application architecture to detect these specific compliance issues and provides targeted recommendations to align with cloud-native best practices.

Does the 12-factor analysis provide specific suggestions for fixing non-compliant code?

Yes, the 12-factor analysis provides specific suggestions for fixing non-compliant code. After identifying compliance levels for each factor, it outputs actionable recommendations complete with code examples to help improve portability, scalability, and maintainability.
