Technology lifecycle check

Reports which release cycles in a stack are still maintained, which have ended and what ends next, from the catalog's endoflife.date snapshot.

What you get

A table per technology: the version in use, its end of life, extended support, and the current and LTS cycles.

How I use it

  • Written for the Blueprint Catalog, my free capability catalog; every path, tool and id it names is checked against each catalog build.
  • Judges against the snapshot date, not today, and says when the snapshot was taken.
  • end of life
  • technical debt
  • upgrade planning

Where it lives

Served by the Blueprint Catalog (opens in a new tab), so there is one copy to keep current. Needs: The catalog's read-only MCP server (catalog.mikereams.com/mcp) or its HTTPS API. No key, no install.
