With so many npm modules out there, one of the most annoying parts about
being a JS developer is keeping up with the latest packages.
Luckily, there are tools to help you keep things up to date!
Node Security checks that your dependencies have no security vulnerabilities and recommends upgrades if they’ve also fixed them.

Greenkeeper is a service that makes PRs for your app instantly after a dependency publishes a new version. You’ll be able to quickly know whether a dependency broke your app if your tests fail. If your tests pass, you can upgrade your dependency with a “merge” click!

At DSC, our test suite could take up to 30 minutes since our review apps are not as fast as Heroku’s and we test against them. Instead of waiting around all day for tests to pass, we have a tool that automatically merges passing PRs for you! This has been open sourced as gh-automerge.
This has allowed us to upgrade our dependencies (and push code) a lot quicker as we simply automerge all dependency upgrades that have passing tests.
