Description
Current app dependencies contain many deprecated packages, and without developing a system to keep them updated, adding, removing or changing dependencies can cause problems.
Any dependencies that can be updated without major breaking changes should be updated, and a system needs to be devised to keep dependencies updated regularly. Apiary website uses a bot called DependaBot to handle dependencies semi-automatically, and if a similar system will work for this project, we should implement it.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the app's dependency declarations and identifying deprecated packages that can be updated without major breaking changes. Review how dependency updates are currently handled, then evaluate a Dependabot-like recurring update workflow. Done means safe updates are applied and a maintainable regular-update system is documented or configured.
