  It enables consumer-driven contract testing, where consumers define their expectations of a provider service, and the provider verifies these expectations before deploying changes.

• DogmaSolutions/ChangeImpactAnalysis

  This project aims to determine which parts of a complex, multi-layered application are impacted by specific code changes by analyzing Git commits against a user-defined architecture descriptor and dependency graph.

• Buf CLI

  Buf provides a command-line interface for linting and breaking change detection for Protobuf schemas, ensuring API compatibility and consistency.

• Spectral
