Big Code is one of the most pressing innovation blockers facing developers and enterprise brands today. According to a recent survey, 94 percent of developers are personally affected by the phenomenon. As code continues to grow rapidly in volume, variety, velocity, and value, companies’ speed of innovation becomes more and more dependent on developers’ ability to efficiently manage code across large, complex codebases. Sourcegraph’s Universal Code Search improves developer productivity with critical code navigation and contextual code intelligence that integrates with any stack, providing a single place to find, update, patch, or share code across repositories, languages, tools, and platforms.

“Every company is facing Big Code problems, and Universal Code Search is the common solution. Sourcegraph has built a beloved product and is the emerging market leader in code search,” said Andrew Reed, partner at Sequoia. “Sourcegraph’s Universal Code Search essentially serves as ‘Google for developers,’ empowering engineering teams to quickly traverse massive codebases and find and analyze the impact of specific lines of code. Sourcegraph is a must-have productivity tool for all developers and will become the system-of-intelligence for code.”
