breaking-change-detector

To detect breaking API changes before production, integrate a breaking change detector into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically evaluate schema and interface modifications during PR review. It flags risky contract changes early, assigning severity levels to block deployment if necessary.

A breaking change in database schema and API versioning is any modification to an interface contract that compromises client compatibility. The detector identifies these changes early and validates them against your project's specific API versioning and deprecation policies to ensure safe contract evolution.

To automate migration guidance for risky API modifications, configure your CI/CD workflow to run the detector on schema changes. It automatically assesses risk levels and suggests migration paths aligned with your versioning strategy, ensuring safe evolution of interface contracts.

Yes, you can block deployment when critical interface contract changes are detected. The detector assigns severity levels like CRITICAL, HIGH, and MEDIUM to breaking changes, enabling your CI/CD pipeline to automatically halt production releases based on the assigned risk.

Yes, the breaking change detector validates API and schema changes against the project's existing API versioning and deprecation policies. It checks if modifications comply with established rules and suggests migration paths aligned with your documented api-strategy.md guidelines.

The best way to manage risk assessment for API evolution in a pull request is integrating an automated detector. It evaluates interface contracts during PR review, assigns severity levels to breaking changes, and provides migration options to enforce safe development.
