SonarCloud
About SonarCloud
SonarCloud is a cloud-based alternative of the SonarQube platform, offering continuous code quality and security analysis as a service. SonarCloud integrates seamlessly with popular version control and CI/CD platforms such as GitHub, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. It provides static code analysis to identify and help remediate issues such as bugs and security vulnerabilities. SonarCloud enables developers to receive immediate feedback on their code within their development environment, facilitating the maintenance of high-quality code standards, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement in software development projects.
Key benefits of SonarCloud
-Automatic, zero-configuration, analysis with GitHub for many popular languages
-Authentication integration with GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket and GitLab
-Immediate access to new features and functionality
-Free open source code analysis
-Clear go/no-go Sonar Quality Gate - Fail pipelines when the code quality doesn’t meet your defined requirements and prevent problems from being merged or deployed.

SonarCloud one of the cloud-based code quality and security analysis tools
Reviewed on 2023/05/04
Pros
SonarCloud has a strong focus on security and compliance, with features such as vulnerability detection, security hotspots, and compliance reporting.
Cons
A potential drawback is the complexity of SonarCloud. While SonarCloud's comprehensive feature set can be a strength, it can also make the platform more challenging to use and configure

SonarCloud improves software quality and developers' skills since it shows where the bugs and security hotspots are and how to correct them.
Pros
I use GitHub integration to run analysis on Pull Requests via GitHub workflows. Pull Request decoration is a great feature, it adds analysis results directly to GitHub PR's page.
Cons
SonarCloud reports also the code coverage by automated test, but it does not execute the report itself. You have to configure an external plugin (based on the nature of the project) that produces a report that SonarCloud can read and include in its dashboard and PR decoration.

SonarQubeReasons for Switching to SonarCloud
I decided to use SonarCloud over SonarQube because it is not more expensive and you don't have to purchase and maintain the machine to run the on-premise server.- Industry: Printing

Good tool, easy to setup, cloud means limited in customisation

Overall it was great
Overall it was great
Pros
Super easy to setup. Took literally minutes to do and then maybe another hour to tweak to fully operational. Gives community standard results very quickly.
Cons
The inability to add in some extra key scanners/rules is quite limiting.

It's still a good tool that help the dev teams to increase their knowledge in a specific language, it's still gives good indicator, overall it's still a good companion
Pros
It's free, as a Self hosted instance with sonarqube, and it's free for open source project. I like the advice they give that my IDE doesn't
Cons
It's a bit using a lot of RAM as it is written in Java

We have more than 45 repos, and we practice continuous delivery, Sonar help us reduce the overhead by automating some tasks that previously were executed by a developer. They gain more control over their time, without sacrificing code quality
Pros
Helps my team to reduce time on checking several controls that are very standard in our projects, like code coverage, code smells, complexity, and security.
Cons
I used to like one functionality they had on the open source version (Sonarqube) in which the software commented the code directly on GitHub, helping the developer to notice their mistakes; I haven´t been able to use it again.Sometimes the configuration and customization are not very straightforward, and developers spend a lot of time trying to tune the tools.
