AWS today announced<\/a> that CodeGuru<\/a>, a set of tools that use machine learning to automatically review code for bugs and suggest potential optimizations, is now generally available. The tool launched into preview<\/a> at AWS re:Invent last December.<\/p>\n

CodeGuru consists of two tools, Reviewer and Profiler, and those names pretty much describe exactly what they do. To build Reviewer, the AWS team actually trained its algorithm with the help of code from more than 10,000 open source projects on GitHub, as well as reviews from Amazon\u2019s own internal codebase.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven for a large organization like Amazon, it\u2019s challenging to have enough experienced developers with enough free time to do code reviews, given the amount of code that gets written every day,\u201d the company notes in today\u2019s announcement. \u201cAnd even the most experienced reviewers miss problems before they impact customer-facing applications, resulting in bugs and performance issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To use CodeGuru, developers continue to commit their code to their repository of choice, no matter whether that\u2019s GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud, AWS\u2019s own CodeCommit or another service. CodeGuru Reviewer then analyzes that code, tries to find bugs and, if it does, it will also offer potential fixes. All of this is done within the context of the code repository, so CodeGuru will create a GitHub pull request, for example, and add a comment to that pull request with some more info about the bug and potential fixes.<\/p>\n

To train the machine learning model, users can also provide CodeGuru with some basic feedback, though we\u2019re mostly talking \u201cthumbs up\u201d and \u201cthumbs down\u201d here.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The CodeGuru Application Profiler has a somewhat different mission. It is meant to help developers figure out where there might be some inefficiencies in their code and identify the most expensive lines of code. This includes support for serverless platforms like AWS Lambda and Fargate.<\/p>\n

One feature the team added since it first announced CodeGuru is that Profiler now attaches an estimated dollar amount to the lines of unoptimized code.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers develop and run a lot of applications that include millions and millions of lines of code. Ensuring the quality and efficiency of that code is incredibly important, as bugs and inefficiencies in even a few lines of code can be very costly. Today, the methods for identifying code quality issues are time-consuming, manual, and error-prone, especially at scale,\u201d said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president, Amazon Machine Learning, in today\u2019s announcement. \u201cCodeGuru combines Amazon\u2019s decades of experience developing and deploying applications at scale with considerable machine learning expertise to give customers a service that improves software quality, delights their customers with better application performance, and eliminates their most expensive lines of code.\u201d<\/p>\n

AWS says a number of companies started using CodeGuru during the preview period. These include the likes of Atlassian, EagleDream and DevFactory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile code reviews from our development team do a great job of preventing bugs from reaching production, it\u2019s not always possible to predict how systems will behave under stress or manage complex data shapes, especially as we have multiple deployments per day,\u201d said Zak Islam, head of Engineering, Tech Teams, at Atlassian. \u201cWhen we detect anomalies in production, we have been able to reduce the investigation time from days to hours and sometimes minutes thanks to Amazon CodeGuru\u2019s continuous profiling feature. Our developers now focus more of their energy on delivering differentiated capabilities and less time investigating problems in our production environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
