What replaced codecov?

No single package succeeded codecov; the fix depends on what you were using it for. There is nothing to swap in, so plan the change rather than the upgrade.

Getting off codecov

Drop the devDependency and replace codecov in your CI script with the codecov/codecov-action step on GitHub Actions, or download and run the Codecov CLI as documented in the deprecation plan.

Why codecov is on this list

Codecov retired its language-specific and bash-based uploaders in favour of a standalone uploader binary, later the Codecov CLI, and the npm package's deprecation notice links to the official deprecation plan published in September 2021. The last release of the npm package was 3.8.3 in July 2021. There is no npm-published successor, so the row has no to.

The succession is well supported, but it is not the only defensible choice.

codecov alternatives

The dataset lists no credible alternative to codecov. Removing the dependency, or writing the small piece of it you actually use, is usually the honest answer.

Check your own project for codecov

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If codecov is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
