Description
Existing tools/architectures for org-wide dependency visibility across repos?
Hi all,
I’m looking into existing solutions for centralized dependency visibility across an organization’s repositories. My org uses Azure Devops.
Main requirement:
ability to search/query which repos/apps use a particular dependency (and ideally version as well)
support for multiple ecosystems (tech stacks involved are mainly [link] and Python)
Example:
“Which repos/apps use lodash 4.17.20?”
So user interaction is still:
dependency name + version (optional)
-> return affected apps/repos
Bonus:
vulnerability visibility/CVE detection
lightweight app metadata/environment visibility
Currently am looking at tools like Backstage, Dependency-Track, OWASP Dependency-Check, Azure DevOps Advanced Security, SBOM-based workflows, etc.
Would appreciate advice on:
existing platforms/tools that fit this use case well
whether people typically solve this using SBOM aggregation
whether Backstage is overkill for this type of dependency-centric visibility use case
common architectures/patterns people use in practice
Thanks in advance!
