About the event

Please sign up here , as spaces are limited. Maintaining software dependencies and updating external packages and dependencies is something that nobody really wants to do, and it is often forgotten and neglegted. We would all much rather spend our time actually developing new, exiting stuff. But leaving you dependencies unmanaged can leave you with security issues, and prevent you from using some of the nice, new features that might make your code even better than it is today. At this Aarhus DevOps Meetup, kindly hosted by Systematic, Susanne Bach Ladefoged Hou will dive into why managing external dependencies is a critical part of software development — even if it’s not always the most exciting thing to do. We'll explore the risks of ignoring them and, most importantly, show you how automation can transform this chore into a seamless, time-saving process using Renovate. Whether you're working on large-scale business applications or side projects in your free time, you'll leave with strategies to keep dependencies in check without sacrificing the fun parts of coding.​ ​ There will be coffee and a light breakfast.​
