Modern software development teams face a difficult balancing act. Applications are growing more complex, release cycles are accelerating, and security expectations continue to rise. This is especially true in a time where much more code is generated daily, which needs to be checked. Teams need…
A developer in DevOps pushes a Kubernetes deployment with no resource limits, a pod running as root explicitly, and a GitHub Actions workflow runs with mutable tags - and it goes straight to production, unnoticed. No quality gate. No IDE warning. No CI failure…
20 Years, 1 MissionMeet Qodana Lead Alex Gopachenko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwX_Qs_k0AQ Twenty years is a lifetime in software engineering. Languages rise and fall. Frameworks become obsolete. Entire categories of developer tools appear, dominate the industry, and quietly disappear a…

Qodana 2026.2 makes it easier for development teams to act on code quality, security, and compliance findings throughout the development workflow. This release introduces clearer code coverage insights for pull requests, highlights uncovered new lines directly in the IDE, and automatically detects c…
Code coverage is one of those metrics that every development team talks about but few use to its full potential. Whether you’re shipping a SaaS product or maintaining a legacy monolith, understanding what your tests actually exercise-and what they miss-can make the difference between a confiden…
It’s a situation you’ve probably experienced before: late in your development process, a security vulnerability surfaces during final testing, weeks after the code was written. As a result, you find yourself context-switching from your current sprint, reconstructing decisions you made a month ago, a…
When news broke that SpaceX would acquire Cursor's parent company, Anysphere, in a reported $60 billion all-stock deal, most of the discussion centered around AI. This was another milestone and enormous valuation, and signal that AI is still bringing enormous disruption. Those reactions aren't wr…
PHP Version Migration Demo PHP powers 71.8% of all websites with a known server-side language. It is a living language that underpins a significant portion of the modern web and one that keeps getting better. For example, EKSNEKS notes that migrating from PHP 7 to PHP 8 alone can deliver 18–42% p…
Qodana For DevOps: Automated Code Quality and Security, at Scale Modern DevOps teams move fast - but speed without consistency, security, and visibility creates risk. JetBrains Qodana helps DevOps teams build and ship higher-quality, more secure software by making code quality and security checks…

One side saw government overreach. The other saw a necessary intervention against potentially da…
The Rule of Zero, Three, and Five, sometimes written 0/3/5, is a set of C++ guidelines about resource ownership and the special member functions. They exist because the alternatives are double-frees, dangling pointers, and silently broken copies. In this post we’ll work through the rules by tripping…
