How do you stay up to date with software release?

When you are using package managers when coding, how do you make sure you are not missing any new updates of the packages?

Take a rest, but don't let your code rest!

The holidays are close and we all deserve a break and quality time with our family and friends, but how about our projects? Whatever you are working on, needs to continue to run 24/7. Now is the time to deploy your code and let it run for the rest of the year. It will run into some unforeseen, long running problems that you can pick up after the new year or whenever you need a quick break. Automate the test cases, even if they are very simple and just call some simple api endpoints. Let them spam it and see what will happen a couple days later. Make sure you have some logging in place and maybe even alerting (like sentry) that will tell you where the code is breaking. I am currently working with Github and testing my integrations I need constant releases. The solution was Github Actions with a schedule that is going to automatically create releases and my application can work with it even when I am enjoying my holidays.
