❔ About
Product lifecycle, EoL (End of Life) and more generally obsolescence is a very hot topic for both :
- 🛡️ Security
- 🤗 Customer & Developer Experience
- ⌛ Durable time to market performances
Still,... managing these can be a tedious activity... and it's not always as easy to at least manage that, have metrics.
👉 What you'll learn
This post will introduce you a very concrete API driven approach that makes these data interoperable (through APIs) so you can build effective dashboard with pretty very few efforts.
❔ endoflife.date
- EOL and Support information is often hard to track, or very badly presented -All the data is made available using an easily accessible API
- There are a few tools that use this API:
norwegianblue,cicada.
🍿 Demos
Below are some integrations we cloud do thanks to endoflife.date's API
😎 Get EOL from your terminal with eol
📊 EoL in Neo4J dashboards
After API-driven integrations We could start to implement these kind of dashboards (Neodash)
... or visualizations (Bloom):
🕹️ "Playing" with dependencies and EoLs
Below, a demo on neo4J Neodash:
♨️ Interact Java EoLs roadmap
Once imported into Neo4J, you can run cypher queries:
MATCH (m:JavaEOL)
WITH m,
CASE
WHEN date(m.support)> date() THEN 'True'
ELSE 'False'
END AS supported
RETURN supported,
count(supported) as total,
m.cycle as version
ORDER BY supported
🕸️ Report apps that rely on deprecated Java
MATCH
(a:Application)-[ra:HAS_GITLAB_REPOSITORY]->(g:GitlabRepository)-[rg:HAS_JAVA_VERSION]->(j:JavaEOL)
WITH a,g,j,
CASE
WHEN date(j.support) > date()
THEN 'True'
ELSE 'False'
END as supported
RETURN supported,
count(supported) as total,
a.name as name
ORDER BY supported
🧑🤝🧑 Our contributions (so far)
I have started to contributed to get the best coverage as possible for our current stack so anyone can take benit of it (including ourselves 😅) :
- Quarkus : see detailed and dedicated discussion with Quarkus maintainers
- Spring-Boot 3
- Apache Maven
- Apache Kafka

🧰 cli Tooling
eol CLI to show end-of-life dates for a number of products. :
You can export EoLs in very various ways (csv, tsv, markdown,...) :
🙏 Feature Request > Please add csv to your output options 📊
#110
❔ Context
Currently,
❯ eol --version
eol 0.9.0 (Python 3.10.6)
The available output options are
-f {html,json,markdown,rst,tsv}, --format {html,json,markdown,rst,tsv}
But most ETL (and other tools) support csv as input format... and often make the load of csv the default mode.
🙏 Feature request
Please add csv output option, respecting rfc4180
For example, the following command :
norwegianblue spring-framework -f csv
Would return :
"cycle","release","latest","latest release","support","eol"
"5.3","2020-10-27","5.3.23","2022-09-15","True","False"
"5.2","2019-09-30","5.2.22","2022-05-11","True","2021-12-31"
"5.1","2018-09-21","5.1.20","2020-12-09","False","2020-12-09"
"5.0","2017-09-28","5.0.20","2020-12-09","False","2020-12-09"
"4.3","2016-06-10","4.3.30","2020-12-09","False","2020-12-31"
"3.2","2012-12-13","3.2.18","2016-12-21","False","2016-12-31"
Thank you in advance and thanks a lot for your tool
