Is GitLab Orbit a developer portal? No — it ships no catalog. How Orbit, Backstage, and Port differ, and the artifact-layer blast radius none of th...
Which AI coding assistants show blast radius before code changes? Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot compared — and the parsed dependency graph none...
Blast radius is really two measurements — the code radius your tests catch, and the artifact radius that crosses repos. In one org, 147 repos hit o...
Parsed cross-repo dependency edges across 1,297 repos in nine public platform orgs. One in four repos is load-bearing for a sibling. Top hub: 188 d...
A Riftmap scan of 242 Cloud Posse repos found 147 declaring terraform-null-label, 133 on context.tf line 24, plus what grep, symbol graphs, and cat...
Parsed vs inferred is a two-horse race that hides a third runner: registered. How declared, inferred, and registered dependency tools each know an...
A pre-merge blast-radius gate in two API calls — routes review by downstream consumers, a CODEOWNERS that updates itself. GitLab CI or GitHub Actio...
Yes — if there's a graph to query. Three graphs get sold as "blast radius before merge": symbol, live-state, artifact. Here's what each one actuall...
Coding agents got cross-repo access this year — but they still can't see what a base-image or Terraform change breaks. That edge was never in the c...
Across Prometheus and Cloud Posse, infrastructure makes up 38%–99.75% of cross-repo coupling — and not one edge is a code symbol. The measured comp...
I parsed four public Terraform estates. Versioning style is an org-level habit, not a per-module choice — and it decides whether a bulk migration l...
Find every consumer of your Ansible role when there's no lockfile and no reverse lookup. Why a shared-role change breaks repos grep can't find, how...
