How it works
-
Submit your Composer files
Submit your composer.json and composer.lock and we'll start analyzing your packages right away.
-
Get a report instantly
You will instantly get a step by step guide on how to get your project up to date together with a more detailed report.
-
Monthly email report
We will continue to monitor your project every month and send you an email telling you what you need to update.
Key benefits
We'll give you a good deep look into the Composer packages your depend on for your projects.
Get a monthly report
Every month you will get a simple step by step guide on how to get your project up-to-date again. This will save you time instead of going over each package yourself.
Know about 1071 Security Issues
Get to know if a version you are using has security vulnerabilities so you can update in time. We'll also tell you if a package has been abandoned and if there is a replacement package you should switch to.
Update version constraints
We'll tell you when you need to update
your version constraints (ie: ^4.0 in composer.json) - the composer
update command will not! Therefore you run the risk of
missing new versions of packages.
Avoid an obsolete app
Avoid having to rewrite your whole app just because you fell too far behind on updates and now it's a huge headache to sort everything out.

Why I created Freshbase
The idea to Freshbase came after I saw how software projects slowly but surely became outdated because updating packages just wasn't a high priority. It's natural to want to focus on new features for your own or clients websites and systems.
But one day you will need to update to a new PHP version and you realize that the current version of your framework or packages doesn't support it. Now you're way behind and have a huge work load in front of you to update versions and catch up, if it's even realistic to do at this stage.
With Freshbase you will get reminded when it's time to update so you can instead do it as a routine, little by little every month.
I hope you like the service, and please drop a message if you have a question or some ideas!
Thanks,
