Sonar solves the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code. Sonar equips organizations to achieve and sustain a Clean Code state by empowering developers to write consistent, intentional, adaptable, and responsible code. Clean Code produces software that is maintainable, reliable, and secure, allowing development teams to spend less time fixing issues and more time innovating. With Sonar, and by employing the company’s Clean as You Code methodology, organizations minimize risk, reduce technical debt, increase productivity, and derive more value from their software in a predictable and sustainable way.

Sonar’s open-source and commercial products – SonarLint, SonarCloud, and SonarQube – support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Trusted by more than 500,000 organizations and used by more than 7 million developers globally to clean more than half a trillion lines of code, Sonar is integral to delivering better software.

Sonar provides a series of products to help engineers eliminate bugs and vulnerabilities and champion quality code in the software development process. Our goal is to make these products the ultimate automatic code analysis solution and get them adopted by millions of users for millions of projects and billions of lines of code.

To achieve this, our IT Operations team has a mission to “Support and Scale our Cloud Infrastructure by providing a stable, secure, and frictionless technology environment.” We manage cloud infrastructure systems that support the organization, enabling teams and individuals to deliver their best work.
