When integrated with your SCM (e.g. GitHub) and CSP (e.g. AWS), Heeler continuously analyzes your code, contributors, and the infrastructure powering your applications. Through this analysis, Heeler generates a catalog called ProductDNA, which provides a real-time inventory of your applications and services, tracking software deployments down to the changeset level.
Heeler builds its ProductDNA through a combination of code analysis and reverse engineering of your running applications. This does not require deployment of an agent, tag or connection to build tools to create ProductDNA.
Heeler's core entity is a Service which we define as - a repository of code serving a specific purpose that has been deployed to cloud infrastructure.
Heeler automatically determines the services in your environment by mapping source code repositories to the running compute in the your environment. It analyzes your cloud environment along with the source code to identify related resources such as databases, load balancers, and additional services.
Heeler applications group connected services working together to solve a larger business problem. Applications are created manually by selecting the services which make up the application. Heeler will automatically map the communication paths between the services. A single service can be a part of multiple applications.
Soon Heeler will be able to automatically group services into applications requiring only a confirmation of the services included in the application.
Application findings (e.g., API endpoints) and security findings (e.g., OSS vulnerabilities) are linked directly to service deployments, enabling precise tracking of changes within each application. Tracking findings at both the deployment and changeset levels allows for accurate identification of where security issues are detected or need remediation. For instance, Heeler can track if a new API is created in a development deployment or if an urgent vulnerability is discovered within a production service.
