CodeRifts detects breaking changes in OpenAPI schemas on every pull request. It scores risk across 4 dimensions (revenue impact, blast radius, app compatibility, security), enforces governance policies before merge, and translates technical API changes into business impact โ blast radius, affected clients, and estimated cost.
Works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and any CI/CD pipeline. Zero config. Free to start.
Key features: - Breaking change detection with risk scoring (0-100) - Policy engine: breaking budgets, freeze windows, approval matrix - Economic impact estimation: cost and engineering effort - Security analysis: auth changes, sensitive field exposure - Auto-changelog and semver suggestions - GitHub App, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, REST API, CLI
SmartGit CodeRiftsSmartGit is ideal for software developers, DevOps professionals, and anyone who frequently works with Git version control systems. It is particularly useful for those who need a GUI-based solution to manage and visualize their repository workflows.

Currently in beta, onboarding early adopters
CodeRifts's answer:
CodeRifts is the only API governance tool that combines breaking change detection with risk scoring, policy enforcement, and economic impact estimation โ all delivered as a zero-config GitHub App. It does not just tell you what changed, it tells you how dangerous it is, who it affects, and what it will cost to fix.
CodeRifts's answer:
A field rename broke a POS system across 19 restaurants for a week. The PR passed code review, all tests were green, nobody checked the API schema. CodeRifts was built to catch this class of problem before merge โ automatically, on every pull request.
CodeRifts's answer:
Most tools only diff your OpenAPI specs. CodeRifts goes further: it scores risk across 4 dimensions, enforces governance policies before merge, estimates migration costs in dollars and engineering hours, and works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and any CI/CD pipeline. One YAML file replaces review meetings.
CodeRifts's answer:
Senior backend engineers, platform engineers, and staff engineers at companies with microservices architectures who need to prevent breaking API changes from reaching production.
