SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardize and enforce safe dependency management across platforms through automated checks, audits, and controlled updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define safety rules for dependency updates (no auto-update of major versions, atomic lockfile changes, and mandatory post-update tests).
Run automated audits to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize fixes by severity.
Align CI/CD workflows to rollback on failures and to report changes clearly.

Quick Start

Update dependencies following the defined safety rules and run the safety workflow in CI to verify and apply patch/minor updates.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate safe dependency updates in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

To automate safe dependency updates in a CI/CD pipeline, you define safety rules that enforce atomic lockfile changes and run mandatory post-update tests. This workflow verifies and applies patch or minor updates while rolling back on failures.

What is the best way to prevent major version dependency updates automatically?▼

The best way to prevent major version dependency updates automatically is to configure safety rules that block auto-updates for major versions. This ensures only controlled patch and minor updates are applied to your lockfile.

How do I run an automated dependency audit to prioritize vulnerability fixes by severity?▼

You run an automated dependency audit to prioritize vulnerability fixes by executing a safety workflow in your CI/CD pipeline. This process identifies vulnerabilities and prioritizes fixes based on their severity levels.

Can I enforce atomic lockfile changes across multiple package managers?▼

Yes, you can enforce atomic lockfile changes across multiple package managers. This standardization applies to multi-language ecosystems, ensuring safe dependency management across different platforms.

Why does my dependency update workflow need a rollback plan?▼

Your dependency update workflow needs a rollback plan to ensure CI/CD pipelines automatically revert atomic lockfile changes if post-update tests fail. This prevents broken dependencies from reaching production environments.
