# @secustor/plugin-renovate-backend-module-runtime-direct

This plugin provides a runtime implementation for the Renovate backend plugin.

It is a direct runtime implementation, meaning that Renovate will run directly on the backend node as a forked process.

> ![NOTE]
> Starting with version `1.0.0` this plugin is using Renovate v40 which requires Node.js v22.13.0 or higher.
