Yandex launched Sourcect: a Gitlab analogue for developers

Sourcecraft has smart code navigation. On the platform, you can not only configure the search through keywords or file names, but also completely study the structure of the code. This allows you to accelerate your products verification and development, she said in Yandex.

The Yandex code wizard is integrated into the site, which helps add the code automatically. This tool admits more than 30 programming languages, including C ++, Go, Java, Kotlin, Python and others.

Development plans Sourcecraft is available through the web interface. In the future, integration with Yandex Cloud services will appear, which will allow the project in the cloud infrastructure “by the button,” said Yandex. Sourcecraft will also work according to the local use model on its servers.

In addition, developers plan to add the functions of scanning secrets and finding vulnerabilities in supplies chains, which will help users strengthen the complex protection of IT projects, says Yandex. Automation tools will also be improved, without which it will not be possible to work with large code bases.

How to use Sourcect? While the platform works in proof mode, access to it is limited. To obtain it, you must request on the website of the site.

• Yandex introduced Sourcect together with other tools for the development and management of cloud security in September last year.
• Gitlab was launched in 2011 by Ukrainian programmers Dmitry Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov. In March 2022, the company suspended work in Russia. Now Gitlab is based in the United States, among its clients: Goldman Sachs, Siemens and Nvidia.
