Case Study: ihomer achieves faster, safer AI-assisted development with Codacy Guardrails

ihomer reduces duplicate code by 20% with Codacy

ihomer, an IT services firm in the EV and energy sector, needed to maintain strict coding standards for security and quality while its developers used AI coding assistants. Their existing SonarQube solution changed its pricing model, prompting a search for an alternative that could provide real-time feedback in the IDE to catch issues early. They turned to the vendor Codacy and its product, Codacy Guardrails.

Codacy implemented its Guardrails solution, an IDE plugin that scans AI-generated code in real-time for security and quality issues. This integration provided instant feedback and auto-fixes, leading to a 20% reduction in duplicate code and the onboarding of 100% of their projects to the Codacy platform. The solution equipped half of ihomer's developers with AI guardrails for their daily workflow, significantly improving efficiency and code quality.
