The Code Climate Platform Is Out of Beta

February 9, 2016

Today we’re excited to announce that the Code Climate Platform is out of beta. When we launched the first open, extensible platform for static analysis back in June of last year, we knew it would take some time to perfect. Since then, we’ve been working hard to add features, fix bugs, support community contributors, and upgrade infrastructure to create a superior experience for developers everywhere.

Our engines-based analysis now offers the key features you’ve come to expect from our “classic” offering, and a lot more, including:

Style checks for Ruby, PHP and Python
Support for more programming languages like Go, Haskell, JSX, CoffeeScript and SCSS; and frameworks like Ember.js, React and RubyMotion
Dependency audits for potential vulnerabilities in your RubyGems and NPM packages
Atom editor integration and a CLI to get feedback before you push
Improved configurability and tuning options support in .codeclimate.yml (and per-engine config files)
Ability to create your own analysis engines using our open source spec and make them available through CodeClimate.com

Already, Code Climate serves tens of thousands of developers. We’re proud to be working with a community of over 100 contributors and members of our Developer Program to provide over 1,800 checks across 20 static analysis engines on our new platform.

Code Climate allows us to incrementally improve and maintain good code hygiene, decreasing the number of defects in our products, and leading to better overall product quality. The Code Climate open platform is a game changer and allows us to build and improve static analysis engines to support our highly complex environment.

For those who gave our engines-based analysis a try soon after launch, in addition to bug fixes you’ll notice a number of key improvements, including:

Visibility into the analysis process via our new Builds pages
More accurate ratings and GPAs
Improved Issues browsing and filtering
Better performance for faster results
Improved stability from infrastructure upgrades we’ve made behind the scenes
