oxpecker catches vendor API breaks in PRs
oxpecker monitors third-party API changes across 26 vendors and identifies the exact files and lines they could break. It runs in your CI, opens reviewable pull requests, and flags changes before deprecation deadlines.
oxpecker targets the painful gap between vendor changelogs and application impact: knowing a dependency changed is easy; proving what it broke is the valuable part.
- –Maps vendor API changes to specific files and lines in your repository
- –Runs source analysis inside your own CI, keeping code out of the service
- –Opens a pull request with a focused, reviewable change rather than auto-merging fixes
- –Filters harmless vendor updates so teams are interrupted only when their code is affected
- –Its invite-only, 26-vendor coverage makes it promising infrastructure, though breadth and detection accuracy will determine whether it beats internal contract tests
