Every repo in your org has branch protections, right? Safe Settings is the GitHub App that makes that actually true — enforcing consistent repository configuration across hundreds of repos from a single YAML file, with no Terraform, no scripts, and no manual clicking.
DORA metrics tell you whether your engineering org is actually healthy or just busy. DevLake is the open-source tool that pulls the data from your existing stack and turns it into answers — without asking engineers to fill in forms.
Dependabot handles the easy cases. Renovate custom managers handle everything else — Terraform modules, Helm chart versions buried in YAML, Docker image tags in shell scripts, and anything else your team has invented.
