Codiga
Codiga is a discontinued static code analysis and coding assistant platform that reviewed code in real time inside the editor and proposed automated fixes as you typed.
Julien Delange founded the company in 2018 and led it as CEO, first releasing the product as Code Inspector. Codiga shipped plugins for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, and JetBrains IDEs including PyCharm, along with a command-line tool and integrations for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Its analyzer, Rosie, returned results on each code change, not only on pull requests.
For Python developers, a codiga.yml file at the project root selected rulesets such as python-security and python-best-practices from the public Codiga Hub, where teams could also publish rules of their own. A companion Coding Assistant indexed reusable snippets and surfaced them by shortcut or semantic search.
Datadog acquired Codiga in April 2023 and shut down every Codiga product on May 4 that year, refunding paid subscribers. The technology survives in Datadog Code Security, whose static analysis engine is open source as datadog-static-analyzer. Here’s the full path from Code Inspector to Datadog:
