DeepCode
What it is: AI code review assistant (now part of Snyk). ML-based bug detection, code quality suggestions. IDE and GitHub integration.
What It Does Best
Smart bug detection. Catches bugs traditional linters miss. Memory leaks, race conditions, logic errors. ML learns from millions of repos.
Cross-file analysis. Understands how files relate. Finds bugs that span multiple modules. Sees patterns humans overlook.
PR integration. Auto-reviews pull requests. Comments on issues with explanations. Like having senior dev review everything.
Pricing
Free: Open-source projects
Team: Part of Snyk pricing (~$52/dev/month)
Enterprise: Custom (included in Snyk Enterprise)
When to Use It
✅ Want deeper analysis than ESLint/Pylint
✅ Complex codebases with subtle bugs
✅ Already using Snyk (DeepCode included)
✅ Need automated code quality enforcement
When NOT to Use It
❌ Simple projects (basic linters sufficient)
❌ Don't want another tool in CI/CD
❌ Team ignores automated suggestions
Bottom line: Smarter linter. Catches real bugs, not just style issues. Now absorbed into Snyk but still valuable for code quality focus.
