Introduction to Amazon CodeGuru

In the software development life cycle, a code review process takes place when all the developers write their code and raise a pull request to merge to an upstream branch. The code review is generally done by the team leader of the project, but it could be a slow process to eyeball the entire code. The code review process is important, but it shouldn't increase the workload for reviewers and become a bottleneck in development. By using code review tools, we can automate the process of reviewing the code. Some famous tools in the market do this magic for us, such as SonarQube. Recently, Amazon launched a new service called Amazon CodeGuru, which can perform code reviews as well as provide application performance. This not only helps in improving the reliability of the software but also lets us dig deep and cut down on the time spent finding difficult issues, such as sensitive data, race conditions, undefined functions, and slow resource leaks.
