Versionist

Versionist is an internal Webspec tool I built to monitor PHP package health across Laravel projects. It reads Composer dependencies, tracks installed package versions, and surfaces security advisories, CVEs, and major version drift so teams can keep long-running applications safer and more maintainable.

The goal was to turn dependency maintenance into a clearer operational workflow. Instead of manually checking composer files across projects, Versionist gives developers visibility into packages that need attention, including vulnerable dependencies and projects falling behind major releases. It helps make upgrade planning more proactive and keeps technical debt from staying hidden until it becomes urgent.

Projects can be synced automatically through Bitbucket OIDC and internal pipelines. Extraneous deploys can copy auto-generated deploy hooks for easy tracking.
