Hi everyone! We want to make sure the Beam starter projects always come with the latest (compatible) versions for every dependency. I enabled Dependabot on all of them to automate this as much as possible, and we have automated tests to make sure everything works as expected.
However, we still need someone to merge Dependabot's PRs. The good news is that since the starter projects are so simple, if tests pass they're most likely safe to merge, and tests only take a couple minutes to run. We could either batch update all dependencies as part of the release process, or have people check them periodically (like an owner per language). These are all the repos we have to keep an eye to: - https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-java -- 9 updates, all tests passing - https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-python -- 2 updates, all tests passing - https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-go -- 0 updates - https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-kotlin -- 3 updates, all tests passing - https://github.com/apache/beam-starter-scala -- not done yet, but keep an eye
