Case Study: Coinbase achieves faster, more secure developer productivity with Sourcegraph Cody

Coinbase saves 5-6 hours per week with Sourcegraph

Coinbase, a global cryptocurrency platform, faced the challenge of wanting to adopt AI coding assistants to boost developer innovation and productivity, but needed to do so without compromising its exceptionally high security standards for handling customer data and digital assets. They evaluated solutions like Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant, Cody, to meet this dual need.

Sourcegraph's solution, Cody, distinguished itself by operating securely within Coinbase's own Amazon Bedrock environment, ensuring no code left their systems. Its context awareness for Coinbase's internal codebase allowed it to generate relevant suggestions. The results were significant: developers reported saving 5-6 hours per week, coding tasks were completed twice as fast, and 75% of developers felt more productive, all while rigorous security testing confirmed no increase in security risks.
