In today’s AI-powered software development landscape, the rapid pace of code creation—fueled by large language models (LLMs) and ever-advancing Gen AI reasoning capabilities—has become both a blessing and a challenge for engineering teams.
While teams can generate code faster than ever, thanks to the new AI coding assistants on the market, the ability to ship code out to production has become limited by the tedious and slow manual code review process. Manual code reviews have become a bottleneck, delaying feature releases and sometimes compromising code quality by missing critical bugs and errors.
Enter CodeRabbit—the industry’s leading AI Code Review platform that helps automate the first pass of code reviews and ultimately allows engineering teams to ship better quality code faster and safer.
In partnership with AWS, especially by using Amazon Bedrock to integrate with Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5, CodeRabbit is transforming how software development teams manage code quality, speed up PR merge time, and reduce bugs in production.
The Bottleneck of Manual Code Reviews
Manual code reviews are tedious, error-prone, and reliant on the availability of other engineers who may not have expertise in the same coding language that they are being asked to review. Interpersonal team dynamics also play their way into the code review process with nitpicks that slow code the software release cycle.
In the age of AI coding assistants, manual code reviews are like driving a passenger car on an F1 race track. You need to change the engine under the hood to adapt to the environment.
Increased Code Volume: With generative AI driving code creation, the sheer amount of code being generated is skyrocketing, and manual code reviews simply cannot keep up.
Manual Review Limitations: Human error will occasionally creep in, especially when engineers are overworked and simply can’t keep up with the rapid pace of software development. Manual reviews are tedious and error-prone.
Impact on Delivery: The delay caused by manual reviews slows down code ship velocity, hindering the release of new features. Engineering teams may also be called upon to fix bugs that slipped through to production.
Developer Morale: let’s face it, at the end of the day, what engineers enjoy the most is building new features and not writing documentation or inserting unit tests. Time spent in manual code reviews is time taken away from what engineers would rather do.
The CodeRabbit Solution: Automated AI Code Reviews
CodeRabbit is designed to address these manual code review challenges head-on. Here’s how:
Merge PRs Faster: By automating the first pass of the code review process, CodeRabbit significantly reduces the turnaround time from sending the PR to merging it. Customers can merge PRs 4x faster using AI code reviews.
Free Up Dev Time: Eliminate repetitive and boring tasks such as documentation or unit test insertion. Reduce the number of dev cycles and number of engineers involved in reviews from 2 to just one engineer.
Improve Code Quality: Automated reviews not only catch bugs faster but also enforce coding best practices and provide refactor suggestions, eventually leading to more robust and maintainable code.
Here are some of the key features of how CodeRabbit delivers these benefits:
Automated Error Detection
Automated AI code reviews detect errors or bugs that manual reviews may miss. Get rid of tedious and error-prone manual reviews and watch your team’s bug count go down in days.1-Click Committable Fixes
CodeRabbit goes beyond just identifying issues in your code. Commit the recommended changes into a pull request with just one 1-click directly from your existing Git workflow.Linters / SAST Integrations
Out-of-the-box integrations with 20+ Linters & SAST. Zero-configuration changes are required, saving your team’s time and effort. AI models coupled with Linters deliver much more accurate reviews.Automated Learnings
AI code reviews continuously improve over time with automated learning. Users can also fine-tune the learnings through a chat interface. Your code reviews are customized to your coding standards.Dashboards and Reports
Visibility into dev productivity improvement with metrics such as the number of issues fixed and human time saved. Automated reports deliver the state of your repos, including PR summaries, release notes, etc.
Review Customization
To tailor the AI code reviews to your project's specific needs, you can set up path-based custom code review instructions or use advanced AST-based custom rules.

CodeRabbit Deployment Models
To meet the needs of different customers, CodeRabbit provides two different deployment models:
SaaS: quick and easy to get started. Just takes two clicks to integrate with your preferred Git platform. No infrastructure to manage immediate value with AI Code Reviews.
Self-Hosted: CodeRabbit provides a container image that you can run on your AWS EKS or ECS containers. You host the infrastructure, and all your data stays in your AWS VPC to help you meet even the most stringent security and compliance needs.
Customers can subscribe to CodeRabbit SaaS with a credit card and pay monthly or annually. Customers can also use our AWS Marketplace listing to pay for the CodeRabbit self-hosted solution. Get in touch with our sales team at sales@coderabbit.ai for volume discounts for the self-hosted deployment model.
Real-world Benefits of AI-Powered Software Development
As AI models powering modern software development environments continue to evolve, the need for rapid, reliable code reviews will only grow so that engineering teams are not blocked from shipping code because of the manual effort spent in code reviews. AWS and CodeRabbit AI Code Review solution represents a significant step forward in this domain, and the proof, as they say, is in the pudding built by our customers.
Here is what David Deal, Sr Director of Engineering at The Linux Foundation,n had to say about AI Code Reviews:
“CodeRabbit has proven invaluable in uncovering discrepancies between our documentation and actual test coverage. Highlighting inconsistencies like missing null checks or mismatched value ranges prevented numerous potential issues.”
And here is what William Wallace, CEO of BuiltRight, had to say about implementing AI Code Reviews:
"We found CodeRabbit through Product Hunt and gave it a try. It was super quick and easy to get started - took us less than 10 minutes. AI code reviews helped us save about 25% of the total time that developers were spending on manual code reviews, freeing up crucial bandwidth from the code review cycles”
