📊 Software Lifecycle Dashboard

Monitor your entire stack's health in a single GitHub Issue. The action can automatically maintain a central dashboard, giving you a live overview of upcoming risks and maintenance requirements.

Software Lifecycle Dashboard

🚀 Quick Start

1. Simple EOL Check

Stop your build if a dependency is no longer supported.

- uses: broadsage/lifecycle-action@v4
  with:
    products: 'python,nodejs,postgresql'
    fail-on-eol: true

2. Multi-Channel Monitoring

Keep your team informed across multiple platforms.

- uses: broadsage/lifecycle-action@v4
  with:
    products: 'python,nodejs'
    slack-webhook-url: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }}

3. Automated Test Matrix

Run tests against all supported (non-EOL) versions of a product.

jobs:
  prepare:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      matrix: ${{ steps.set-matrix.outputs.matrix }}
    steps:
      - uses: broadsage/lifecycle-action@v4
        id: set-matrix
        with:
          products: 'python'
          output-matrix: true
          exclude-eol-from-matrix: true

  test:
    needs: prepare
    strategy:
      matrix: ${{ fromJson(needs.prepare.outputs.matrix) }}
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.version }}
      - run: pytest
