Software products need regular upkeep — security patches, dependency updates, and compatibility checks. Transmuter handles this for you automatically.

​
How it works

Transmuter’s maintenance system runs on a schedule:
1

Automated scan

Transmuter regularly scans your product’s dependencies for updates and known vulnerabilities.
2

Update and test

When updates are available, Transmuter applies them in an isolated environment and runs your product’s test suite to make sure nothing breaks.
3

Notification

You receive a notification summarizing what was updated and the test results. If everything passed, the update can be deployed.
4

Deployment

Approved updates are deployed to your live product with zero downtime.
Maintenance uses your monthly Plan Cast budget. Routine maintenance typically costs a small fraction of a full Plan Cast.

​
Viewing maintenance history

Navigate to your project’s Post-Launch Hub and click Maintenance to see:
  • Upcoming scheduled maintenance
  • History of past maintenance runs
  • Details of what was updated in each run
  • Any issues that were found and resolved

​
Opting out

If you prefer to handle maintenance yourself (for example, if you have a development team managing the code), you can disable automatic maintenance from the project settings. Your product will continue running, but Transmuter will stop scanning for updates.
Disabling maintenance means you are responsible for keeping your product’s dependencies up to date. Outdated dependencies can introduce security vulnerabilities over time.
