10-50+ client repos

The Challenge

50 client repos, zero maintenance budget

Retainers end, projects ship, and your team moves on. But those 50+ client repos keep accumulating outdated dependencies. Six months later, there are 12 CVEs across 30 projects.

Manual audits are expensive. You'd need a full-time developer just to triage security patches — and that's before any code changes for breaking updates.

Most agencies solve this by ignoring it until the client calls. Ovvoc solves it by maintaining everything continuously — so the call never comes.
