Sentry announced it has acquired
Codecov, providing
developers with actionable insights into their workflow. The acquisition
expands Sentry's product offering for development teams to improve code
quality and velocity even earlier in the development life cycle,
helping to accelerate remediation and enabling the delivery of better
end-user experiences.
"Our mission has always been to empower developers to ship high quality
code, faster than anyone else through context and insights, versus
dashboards and tools that frankly weren't built for resolution," said
Milin Desai, CEO of Sentry. "The Codecov team shares this singular focus
- and enables us to offer developers even more comprehensive insight
into their application's code quality earlier in the development cycle."
Codecov is the leading dedicated code coverage solution, which helps
thousands of development teams at companies like Lyft, Slack, Washington
Post, GoodRx, and Alteryx, confidently ship stable code. Similar to
Sentry, Codecov works within developers' existing workflows for software
development, providing feedback, insight, and ownership over the
quality of code regardless of platform, language, or CI/CD tooling. With
the acquisition, Sentry customers will benefit from insights and
protection over their code quality both pre- and post-deployment.
"At Lyft, we want to help our developers reliably ship code as fast as
possible by providing an environment that allows them to feel confident
to make and ship changes in code," said Jun Li, Staff Software Engineer
at Lyft. "Codecov provides a source of truth for our teams. It reduces
friction as it is flexible enough to fit into any language and CI/CD so
engineers can see the impact and dig deeper into code changes, all in
one place. The implementation of Codecov has improved the overall
developer experience and we're seeing more and more adoption of it
across our teams."
"From day one, our primary focus has been on using tools like code
coverage to help developers ship quickly and reliably," said Jerrod
Engelberg, CEO of Codecov. "There's an obvious alignment between Sentry
and Codecov in how we empower developers to feel confident in making and
shipping changes. We are climbing the same summit of software
reliability from opposite sides, and with this, our customers new and
old will experience faster development cycles, quicker discovery and
remediation of bugs, and an overall better developer experience. "
Codecov providing intelligent code coverage furthers Sentry's commitment
to addressing the evolving needs of software developers who are using
tooling that is not purpose-built for their workflows or their most
pressing problems. The addition of Codecov, along with Sentry's other recent investments will serve to evolve application monitoring for software developers everywhere.
