Jonah will walk through his experience helping migrate a legacy enterprise system from stored procedures to a microservices architecture. Early in the project, they introduced SonarQube to improve code quality and surface security concerns during the POC phase leading them to reevaluate some of their initial architectural choices. Jonah will share how they integrated SonarQube into their CI, how it shaped their dev process, and what he learned from digging through the codebase to clean up smells and reduce tech debt! Key Takeaways: 1. Practical lessons from cleaning up real-world code smells and vulnerabilities manually as part of a growing team. 2. How to integrate SonarQube into a CI/CD pipeline for a microservices project and what impact it actually has on code quality. 3. Using SonarQube for POC work benefits as a design feedback tool, not just a cleanup tool.
