Predictive dependency intelligence

Know which packages are dying — 60 days before they do.

Beacon monitors every open source dependency in your codebase and predicts abandonment before it becomes a production incident. Stop firefighting. Start planning.

The problem

Your dependencies are decaying. You just don't know it yet.

90% of modern software runs on open source. A meaningful fraction of those packages will lose their maintainers this year — silently. By the time your build breaks or your security scanner fires, the optimal window for low-cost migration has already closed.

You find out too late.

A failed build. A CVE alert. A broken upgrade path. These are lagging indicators that arrive long after the cheapest fix window has closed.

Migration debt compounds.

A 2-week migration this quarter becomes a 3-month rewrite in 18 months. Every deferred decision costs exponentially more.

No signal, no warning.

Existing tools flag known CVEs reactively. None model the 60–90 day window when maintainer decay is still reversible.

The difference

Stop reacting. Start predicting.

Without Beacon

Production incident from abandoned package
CVE alert on a package nobody maintained
3-month rewrite for a 2-week migration
"We'll deal with it later" — then it's too late

With Beacon

Predicted abandonment 60 days early
Migrated proactively — zero downtime
2-week planned migration, not 3-month fire drill
Team focuses on features, not firefighting

How it works

From connection to insight in under 60 seconds.

Install GitHub App

One-click installation. Read-only access to your manifest files only. No source code, no secrets.

Select your repos

Choose which repositories to monitor — individual repos or your entire org. Monorepo support included.

We scan and score

Beacon reads your dependency manifests, collects signals from 8 external sources, and runs our XGBoost survival model.

Get your risk dashboard

A ranked board of every dependency scored 0–100. Critical packages surface first. Migration recommendations included.

Features

Everything engineering teams need to stay ahead of dependency rot.

60–90 day survival forecast

Our XGBoost model predicts package abandonment probability before the signals become obvious.

GitHub App integration

One-click read-only connection. Supports monorepos, multiple manifest formats, and org-wide scanning.

Threshold alerts

Configure SPS drop thresholds per org. Get notified in Slack, email, or JIRA the moment a package crosses your line.

Migration recommendations

When a package falls, Beacon surfaces ranked replacement packages with estimated migration effort.

Signal breakdown

Six weighted signal categories — commit velocity, maintainer activity, funding, issues, community, security — visualized per package.

Security hygiene tracking

Days since last release, CVE age, and OSSF Scorecard delta tracked continuously alongside health signals.

Your command center

See every risk, ranked and ready to act on.

A single view of every dependency in your stack — sorted by survival probability, with migration paths surfaced automatically.

What engineers say

Teams that stopped firefighting.

“

We caught a critical abandonment in node-sass six weeks before our CI started failing. The migration recommendation pointed us straight to sass. Saved an entire sprint.

Priya M.

VP Engineering at Stackery

“

Beacon is the first tool that tells me what's about to break, not what already has. That's a completely different kind of value for a platform team.

Rohan D.

Senior Platform Engineer at BuildCo

“

We were asked to demonstrate software supply chain security posture to auditors. Beacon gave us the report we needed in one export. That alone justified the subscription.

Aditya K.

CTO at ShipFast

“

Our security team used to spend hours triaging dependency alerts. Beacon cut our triage time by 70% because we only look at things that are actually at risk of dying.

Sarah L.

Security Lead at NovaTech

“

I integrated Beacon into our CI pipeline. When a dependency drops below SPS 40, it auto-creates a migration ticket in JIRA. Our tech debt backlog finally has signal.

Marcus W.

DevOps Manager at CloudScale

“

We went from "we should probably upgrade moment" to "we have 47 days before risk is critical." That kind of specificity changes how leadership funds migration work.
