How One Engineer Automated Code Review with a Custom Static Analysis Tool

from The Software Engineering Podcast with Fexingo: Code, Architecture, and Engineering Best Practices · host Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a single engineer at a mid-size SaaS company built a custom static analysis tool that automated 80% of code review comments. They break down the specific rules the tool enforced, how it was integrated into the CI pipeline, and the surprising cultural pushback the engineer faced. The episode includes a real-world example: a rule that caught unnecessary database queries in pull requests, saving hours of manual review per week. Lucas and Luna also discuss the trade-offs between custom tools and off-the-shelf linters like ESLint and SonarQube. Perfect for senior engineers and tech leads looking to reduce review bottlenecks without sacrificing code quality. #StaticAnalysis #CodeReview #Automation #EngineeringProductivity #CustomTools #CI_Pipeline #Linter #DeveloperExperience #TechLead #SaaS #PullRequest #DatabaseQueries #SoftwareEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CodeQuality #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
