SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Designed to help engineers and product teams evaluate an application's alignment with the Twelve-Factor App methodology, identifying gaps and guiding improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Factor-by-factor assessment: systematically checks each factor against code, config, dependencies, and deployment practices.
  • Evidence-based verdicts: labels each factor as conformant, partial, non-conformant, or not evaluated with justification.
  • Actionable roadmaps: outputs prioritized recommendations to reach full compliance, suitable for architecture decisions and refactoring.

Quick Start

Provide a codebase and tell me to run a factor-by-factor audit to generate a structured compliance report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my codebase against the Twelve-Factor App methodology?

To audit a codebase against the Twelve-Factor App methodology, provide your source code and deployment configurations for a systematic, factor-by-factor diagnostic. This generates a structured compliance report evaluating code, config, dependencies, and pipelines across your project lifecycle.

What is the best way to check dev-prod parity in my cloud-native application?

Checking dev-prod parity involves auditing application configurations and deployment pipelines against the Twelve-Factor framework. This produces an evidence-based diagnostic that highlights discrepancies between development and production environments, ensuring consistent cloud-native deployment behavior.

Can I get actionable recommendations for refactoring configuration management?

You can get actionable recommendations for refactoring configuration management by evaluating your app against the Twelve-Factor framework. The audit outputs prioritized roadmaps grounded in observable code and runtime data, suitable for architecture decisions to reach full compliance.

Does the Twelve-Factor audit work with existing deployment configurations?

The Twelve-Factor audit works with existing deployment configurations by analyzing real-world codebases, pipelines, and runtime data. It assesses your current project lifecycle state to provide evidence-based conclusions without requiring prior framework alignment.

When should I not use a Twelve-Factor compliance report?

A Twelve-Factor compliance report should not be used when an application lacks observable code, configuration, pipelines, or runtime data for evaluation. The audit relies on evidence-based conclusions, making it unsuitable for projects without established deployment configurations or dependencies.
