Who is Sonar
Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production amplifies developers productivity in concert with AI assistants and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code regardless of who writes it your internal team genAI or third parties resulting in more secure reliable and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community Sonars solutions support over 30 programming languages frameworks and infrastructure technologies. Today Sonar is used by 7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide including the DoD Microsoft NASA MasterCard Siemens and T-Mobile.
We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company users each other and our open source community.
