Cloud-hosted code quality and security analysis that auto-provisions projects and enforces quality gates in CI/CD pipelines.
SonarQube Cloud is the SaaS delivery of the SonarQube platform, continuously analyzing developer-written, AI-generated, and open source code for bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells across more than 40 programming languages. It automatically provisions projects and triggers analysis the moment a new GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps repository is created, requiring no manual configuration.
The platform decorates pull requests with actionable findings and enforces customizable go/no-go Quality Gates that fail pipelines when code does not meet defined quality, security, and coverage standards. It includes SAST, secrets detection, test coverage tracking, and AI CodeFix suggestions, and is trusted by more than seven million developers.
