Infield

Infield is a tool for automating open-source dependency updates. It helps teams manage dependencies and reduce the risk and effort involved in upgrades by analyzing complexity, risk level, and expected time to update.

What Infield does

• Automates dependency updates for supported projects
• Estimates upgrade risk, complexity, and expected effort
• Improves security by keeping libraries on current versions
• Reduces routine maintenance work
• Involves experts only when needed

Integrations and supported stacks

• GitHub integration
• Supports Ruby, JavaScript, and Python (Java is planned)
• Requires initial setup and some onboarding to the interface

How it’s used

Infield provides a dashboard with dependency analysis and update recommendations. You can review vulnerable or outdated libraries, assess potential risks and workload, and plan upgrades accordingly. For best results, run analyses regularly and follow the recommended update steps, using the built-in instructions and the GitHub integration guide for your project.
