USE CASE
Dependency upgrades beyond Dependabot
A dependency upgrade is more than a version bump: the new release renames APIs, changes types, and breaks call sites. Hyperlane applies the upgrade, repairs the affected code, and runs your test suite in its sandbox before opening a pull request.
Bots open the bump PR; a Hyperlane agent fixes the breaking changes inside it - then proves the repo still works.
Not just the bump - the fallout
Dependabot opens the version bump and leaves the breakage to you. Hyperlane applies the upgrade and repairs the call sites: API renames, config migrations, type changes - verified against your suite.
Batch waves sanely
Fan out across a fleet of services: one run per repo applies the same upgrade pattern, each returning an independent, verified PR.
Security-driven, not just scheduled
Trigger runs from vulnerability alerts via the API - the patch-plus-fix arrives as a PR while the CVE is still fresh.
What Hyperlane ships
- Autonomous agent loop that plans, edits, runs, and verifies work end-to-end
- Every run executes inside an isolated, resource-capped sandbox
- Live execution traces - diffs, terminal output, and reasoning as it happens
- GitHub-native workflow: pushes branches and opens pull requests itself
- Web app, REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, and MCP server interfaces
- Dollar-for-dollar credits - pay $20, get $20 of agent work
Frequently asked
How is this different from Dependabot?
Those bots bump the version and run your CI. Hyperlane also edits your code to accommodate the new version - it finishes the migration, not just the bump.
