npm
npm is the world’s largest software registry for JavaScript and related ecosystems, hosting packages that thousands of developers build on every day. It publishes package releases, versions, and usage trends (like downloads), making it a central source of truth for tracking dependency health. Teams use npm data to manage updates, monitor ecosystem momentum, and reduce the risk of surprises in their builds and deployments.
Linking npm gives BOBs continuous visibility into what’s happening across your dependency landscape. BOBs can detect when a package gets a new version and when download activity changes, then use those signals to inform the next steps—like recommending an update window, prioritizing packages to review, or triggering downstream checks in your connected development and operations tools.
This helps teams stay ahead of ecosystem shifts: faster patch rollouts, earlier detection of high-adoption updates, and more confident dependency management. Instead of manually watching feeds, you get a steady stream of release and usage-change events you can act on when they matter.
Events supported:
- New Package Version
- New Download Counts
