Infield revolutionizes the way engineering teams approach the upgrade of open source software by combining automation with expert developer insights. This innovative tool ensures that upgrades are not only safe but also efficient, allowing teams to focus on their core development tasks without the constant worry of dependency management.
Getting started with Infield is straightforward. Teams can connect their code using the Infield GitHub app or the CLI tool, syncing dependencies directly from their local environment or CI pipeline. Once connected, Infield calculates a comprehensive upgrade plan that considers risk, effort, and the complex web of direct and indirect dependencies. This living plan is continuously updated, ensuring that teams always have the most current and relevant upgrade strategy at their fingertips.
Infield offers two main pathways for upgrading: a white glove service that handles the tedious work of upgrading for you, and software-only plans that supercharge your upgrade efforts. The white glove service is particularly beneficial for teams looking to offload the burden of dependency management entirely, while the software-only plans provide the tools needed to enhance in-house upgrade processes.
Testimonials from world-class engineering teams highlight the seamless experience and significant time savings Infield provides. Joseph Gefroh, VP of Product and Engineering at HealthSherpa, notes the ease with which his team can now manage upgrades, while Luke Rodgers, a Senior Engineer at Alice Financial, appreciates how Infield removes the guesswork from the upgrade process.
Currently, Infield supports Ruby, JavaScript, and Python, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of development projects. With Infield, engineering teams can confidently stay ahead of dependency upgrades, ensuring their projects remain secure, efficient, and up-to-date.
