Our values
We don't just talk about our values. We live them.
At Sonar, CODE is more than an acronym. It's the shared language we use to describe the kind of team we want to be — and the standard we hold ourselves to every single day. Not because someone said so, but because we genuinely believe it makes us better at what we do, and better for the people we do it with.

How we got here
We started with a simple belief: developers deserve better tools. That belief has taken us from a small open source project to the backbone of the AI software revolution.
2007
Simon Brandhof starts developing the Sonar platform by integrating the best open source tools for Java. Enthused by the vision, Olivier Gaudin joins the team in Sept 2007.

The three combine their passion to accelerate the development of the Open Source Sonar platform. SonarSource is born in Nov 2008 with an initial effort to make the platform enterprise-ready.
2009
Built on the Open Sonar platform, SonarSource starts to develop its commercial offering with its first commercial plugin 'Views' for project portfolio management and gets recognized at Open World Forum.
2010
Sonar platform is accepted by the community and enterprise with over 2K downloads per month. The company grows and accelerates its pace of R&D with more released plugins.
2013
Commercial editions are offered under the SonarQube Server brand and new Editions are introduced based on customer feedback and the needs of larger enterprises.

2020
RIPS Technologies, a German startup known for its security analyzers, becomes part of the SonarSource family. Teams join forces to disrupt the Code Security market with developer-first SAST products.
