About:
Semgrep is a fast, open-source static analysis tool that scans code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and policy violations. It supports many languages and allows you to write custom rules that feel like writing unit tests. It helps developers catch issues early in the development lifecycle, right in their IDE or CI pipeline.
Key Features:
  • Multi-language support for 30+ programming languages
  • Proactive security scanning with OWASP Top 10 and CWE coverage
  • Custom rule writing with a simple, code-like syntax
  • Fast scanning with local-first execution and CI/CD integration
Use Cases:
  • Preventing security vulnerabilities in code before deployment
  • Enforcing consistent coding standards across a team
  • Automating code reviews to catch bugs and anti-patterns
Alternatives:
  • SonarQube – SonarQube is a comprehensive platform with a UI and historical reporting, while Semgrep focuses on fast, local-first scanning and developer-friendly custom rules.
  • CodeQL – CodeQL offers deep data-flow analysis but is more complex to set up; Semgrep prioritizes speed, ease of use, and local development workflows.
