3-2-1, Lift off! It’s Time to Elevate Your Development with Sonatype Lift

Deep code analysis designed for developers and focused on code quality is here.

When you have an awesome new product aimed at helping developersSonatype Lift Logo - Cartoon Squirrel with Rocket Pack catch and fix code quality issues during code review, it’s hard not to get excited. Then, combine that with an even cooler new mascot, who by day is “Lift-bot”, your new teammate who reviews every pull/merge request, and by night is “Rocket Squirrel”, a cosmonaut galavanting around the universe looking for deep code security issues, how do you resist pulling out every space reference you can think of?

But then you realize that a) those are cheesy and don’t do justice to the originals b) if I did all the references I wanted to, I’d never get to tell you about Sonatype Lift.

Setting all space puns aside, let’s talk about code quality, deep code analysis, and launching (ok, not all puns) Sonatype Lift, the newest addition to the Sonatype family.

Code Quality as a Security Issue

In the past year, cyber attacks have increased exponentially, with malicious actors now going after software supply chains to exploit vulnerabilities in commercial and open source code. We’ve seen this in both the SolarWinds and Codecov incidents. Even the world’s largest companies aren’t immune to software quality defects inadvertently reaching production, as proven by Apple’s (Read more...)
