Sonar

SonarCloud is an online code review service that plugs into your cloud DevOps platform to offer code review as a service and ensure you're delivering clean code reliably and efficiently. It can be used to extend your Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, minimizing rollbacks and improving release quality. SonarCloud's features to improve code quality include AI-assisted and quality-assured code, DevOps transformation and outsourcing software development.

SonarCloud supports more than 30 programming languages, development frameworks and infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, so it can be used for a wide range of projects. You can integrate Sonar with GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and GitLab, so it fits into your existing DevOps workflow.

Some of the key features of SonarCloud include:

• Automatic Analysis: No setup is required for most languages to get the results of the first analysis.
• Clear Go/No-Go Quality Gate: Stop pipelines if code quality doesn't meet your defined quality gate, so you don't let problems get merged or deployed.
• Super-Fast Analysis: Get immediate feedback to quickly determine where code stands in pull requests and branches.
• Actionable, Highly Precise Results: Get reports at the right place and the right time to take action and avoid false positives.
• Shared, Unified Configurations: Define code health for your team with a unified configuration to ensure everyone is on the same page and can work together efficiently.

SonarCloud also offers advanced developer security tools, including a secrets detection tool and static application security testing (SAST) to find security vulnerabilities in code. This helps you prevent potential security issues and ensure your applications are secure.

SonarCloud pricing includes free open-source projects, with paid options for private code. A 14-day free trial lets you try the full range of features.

For developers and DevOps teams, SonarCloud offers immediate feedback and in-context coding guidance to help you deliver clean code every day. It can be used for a variety of use cases, including ensuring high-quality AI-generated code, managing technical debt and enforcing secure coding practices. With SonarCloud, you can embed code security into your development workflow and improve software quality.
