Case Study: MathWorks accelerates code exploration with Sourcegraph

MathWorks unifies code search for 1,000+ engineers with Sourcegraph

MathWorks, the developer of MATLAB and Simulink, faced a challenge enabling its engineers to search and understand a 40+ year-old codebase fragmented across multiple version control systems including Perforce, GitHub, and GitLab. Their internal tools were inconsistent and time-consuming, forcing developers to rely on tribal knowledge.

By implementing Sourcegraph, MathWorks unified code search and introduced the transformational Deep Search feature. The solution allowed engineers to use natural language queries for debugging and discovery. As a result, tasks that used to take days now take minutes, with one architect fixing a complex JavaScript memory leak in less than a week instead of multiple weeks.
