Analyzing code with SonarCloud
In Chapter 12, Static Code Analysis with SonarQube, we explained the importance of implementing static code analysis practices. For open source projects, code analysis is more important because the source code and its binaries are published publicly.
One of the roles of open source is to provide code and components that can be used in enterprise applications, so this code must be written correctly and without any security issues.
Previously in this book, we have discussed the fact that SonarQube, with its installations and uses, is one of the major tools that allows code analysis to take place for enterprise applications. However, it requires an on-premises infrastructure to be installed, which is more expensive for a company.
For open source project code analysis, it is possible to use SonarCloud (https://sonarcloud.io/), which is the same product as SonarQube but comes in a cloud solution that requires no installation.
