Cortex and Sonar Announce Partnership to Drive Code Quality and Security at Scale

At Cortex, our mission is to empower engineering organizations to ship reliable, secure, and efficient software, faster. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a formalized partnership with Sonar, the leader in code quality and security. For years, Sonar has been one of the most popular integrations in Cortex. Teams rely on Sonar’s deep code insights to identify vulnerabilities, ensure coverage, and raise the bar for clean, secure code.

Introducing Braintrust

How do you balance speed and quality when your customers are counting on you? What does it actually take to build a culture of reliability? And how should engineering leaders think about AI when it's changing everything about how we ship software? On Braintrust, Ganesh Datta, CTO and Co-founder of Cortex, sits down with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical leaders who've been in the trenches—the ones who've made the hard calls, shipped through the chaos, and built teams that actually work.
