We're thrilled to announce that CodeRabbit, our AI-native Code Reviewer, now integrates seamlessly with Azure DevOps. This integration brings the power of AI-native Code Review to one of the most popular Cloud platforms, helping you catch bugs early, improve code quality, and enhance developer productivity.

Why Azure DevOps?

Azure DevOps is a popular cloud-based platform that provides a comprehensive set of tools for collaborative software development.

It offers features like source control, work item tracking, continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and more. By integrating CodeRabbit with Azure DevOps, we're making it easier for teams already using Microsoft Azure to leverage AI-native code reviews without disrupting their established Code quality processes.

Azure DevOps is trusted by numerous enterprises and development teams worldwide. Its robust features, scalability, and tight integration with the Microsoft ecosystem make it a preferred choice for many organizations. Interestingly, it offers full compatibility with GitHub’s Enterprise Server features.
