What happened
Xero moved its code quality and security analysis from an on-premises setup to SonarQube Cloud, onboarding its repositories with scripts and APIs. Engineers get feedback in GitHub pull requests, and quality gates are aligned across global product teams.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Sonar and Xero, not ours.
- 3,000“onboard 3,000 repositories”
- nine months“the team maintained the on-premises server for nine months”
Moving from a high-maintenance legacy setup to the cloud meant Xero could successfully onboard 3,500 repositories, eliminate significant infrastructure overhead, and standardize quality gates across the organization.
As we move toward using AI tooling for code generation, it is reassuring to know that all our code is checked and scanned to provide a sanity check on the quantity of code being produced.
We now have greater confidence in what we push to production, whether it was written by a robot or one of our awesome engineers.
