Grammarly for Code Reviews

Code reviews are hard and expensive. Code reviews also lead to critical business decisions and costs. For example, the CEO of Twitter made mass layoff decisions on cursory reviews of a page or two of code from each developer. Runaway queries can lead to severe cost overruns for hosted database instances. CodeGuru is an automated service that allows organizations to automate the review of code.

CodeGuru doesn’t replace human code reviews. Like most ML, it augments human code reviews to check for security, cost, and basic logic. It can be added to an existing pipeline or integrated into a service such as CodeCatalyst.
