What Impact Gate does#
Impact Gate connects selected GitHub repositories into an engineering workspace. It discovers API endpoints from OpenAPI documents, finds supported HTTP client references in consumer code, and publishes an advisory report when a pull request changes a contract.
- See discovered services, endpoints, and static callers in one place.
- Review contract changes alongside consumer code and commit-specific evidence.
- Follow analysis progress in GitHub and the connected dashboard.
- Record deprecation evidence reviews against a particular workspace snapshot.
The workflow#
Connect an organization
Sign in, authorize your GitHub identity, and connect an installation you administer.
Choose providers and consumers
Select repositories containing API contracts and the applications that call those APIs. Indexing reads their default branches.
Open a pull request
Impact Gate compares supported contracts at the PR's base and head commits, then inspects selected, indexed consumers.
Review the evidence
Read the GitHub check and report, follow the source references, and use dashboard findings to plan changes with the affected owners.
