Case Study: Codecademy achieves faster, higher-quality code reviews with Code Climate Quality

Codecademy improves PR review speed by 30% with Code Climate

Codecademy, an online platform for learning to code, faced challenges in maintaining code quality and efficiently onboarding new engineers as their team rapidly expanded. They sought a solution to optimize their pull request review process and reduce friction in development. To address this, they turned to Code Climate and implemented their automated code review tool, Quality.

Code Climate provided a flexible solution that integrated into Codecademy's workflow, enabling automated checks on pull requests without blocking developers from committing code. This implementation resulted in improved code review quality and faster onboarding for new team members. Engineers could spend more time discussing functional aspects of code rather than minor issues, ultimately allowing Codecademy to ship code sooner while maintaining their quality standards.
