Continuous Code Quality and Security

Website | Documentation | GitHub

SonarQube is an open-source platform for continuously inspecting code quality and security. It detects bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells, providing actionable insights to improve the maintainability and reliability of your codebase.

Deploy and Host

About Hosting SonarQube

SonarQube is designed to run as a containerized service alongside a PostgreSQL database. It offers a powerful web interface for developers and teams to track code quality metrics over time, integrating seamlessly with popular CI/CD pipelines.

On Railway, you can deploy SonarQube and its PostgreSQL backend without worrying about low-level infrastructure setup. This makes it easy to integrate static code analysis into your workflow and enforce quality gates on pull requests or builds.

Common Use Cases

• Automated Code Quality Checks in CI/CD
  Run SonarQube as part of GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or other pipelines.

• Enforce Quality Gates
  Prevent code merges or deployments when certain quality or security thresholds are not met.

• Track and Reduce Technical Debt
  Identify and refactor problematic code to improve long-term maintainability.
