Datadog Code Analysis is a tool that helps engineering teams identify and remediate code quality and security issues earlier in the software development lifecycle, without switching tools or contexts. It uses Datadog's open source Static Analyzer to scan codebases for security vulnerabilities and maintainability issues, highlighting them directly within IDEs and GitHub pull requests. This enables developers to proactively address issues during development, reducing context switching and investigation required after code has been merged. The tool also provides automated feedback and suggestions across repositories or codebases, allowing developers to flag rule violations in pull requests and create transparent suggestions for contributors. Additionally, it offers Software Composition Analysis to scan open source libraries for known vulnerabilities, helping teams mitigate risks before deploying new features.
