ADR-015: Dependency Management

Status

Accepted

Context

Keeping dependencies up to date is essential for security, stability, and access to new features. Manual dependency management is error-prone and time-consuming, especially across multiple ecosystems.

Decision

The project manages Python, GitHub Actions, and Helm dependency updates automatically using Dependabot combined with Mergify.

Alternatives Considered

  • Manual dependency updates.

  • Using other automation tools or scripts for dependency management.

Consequences

  • Positive: - Ensures dependencies are updated regularly and automatically. - Reduces manual effort and risk of outdated packages. - Improves security and stability.

  • Negative: - Requires configuration and maintenance of automation tools. - May introduce breaking changes if updates are not reviewed carefully.
