Dependabot Upgrade Runner
Replaces a $70k DevOps Junior. Bumps deps weekly, runs tests, merges if green.
The Problem
An SMB or small dev team spends $70k/yr on a DevOps Junior who reviews dozens of Dependabot PRs each week, runs the suite, reads the changelog, and merges what's safe. The agent does the same: parse the changelog, run CI, auto-merge minor + patch PRs that pass the suite, escalate the major-version PRs.
The Outcome
Dependabot opens a PR → agent reads the changelog, runs the test suite, auto-merges minor + patch updates that pass + are non-breaking, posts a digest of held majors to #eng every Friday.
Day in the Life
1.
On every Dependabot PR: parses the changelog + runs the test suite
2.
Auto-merges minor + patch bumps if all checks green and no breaking-change keywords in changelog
3.
Friday 10:00: posts digest of held major-version PRs to #eng with risk-ranked recs
