Automate dependency updates at scale

There’s a reason devs prioritize developing applications over running maintenance checks—applying updates takes time, especially if an update requires reworking code.

Especially in a complex dependency tree, it’s difficult to even know what libraries or packages are out of date. Manually looking for updates is time-consuming and unrewarding work.

Updates may not always be compatible with existing code, and without confidence that an update won’t break their app, devs hesitate to merge.

Automated dependency updates streamline and optimize your devs’ entire dependency management process.

Deploying automated tools organization-wide not only shifts responsibility from individual developers, but also ensures consistency across all applications and simplifies the development process.

Providing devs with a calculated merge confidence rating for each pull request allows them to immediately submit high-confidence updates and significantly cut their workload.

“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”

“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”

“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
