SlopGrade vs SonarQube
SonarQube measures code quality — bugs, code smells, coverage, duplication — plus security, behind a quality gate, on a server you host (or SonarCloud). SlopGrade ignores quality metrics entirely and does one security thing: block the high-severity leaks AI writes, deterministically, per PR, with your code never leaving the runner and no server to operate.
SonarQube is the right tool when you want a durable, org-wide view of code quality and technical debt with a configurable quality gate and broad language coverage. It also means running (or paying for) a server and tuning what the quality gate enforces. SlopGrade has no server, no quality metrics, and no configuration to speak of — it is a single deterministic security gate, focused on the leaks that turn into breaches, that you add to a workflow file in two minutes.
SlopGrade vs SonarQube
Pick SonarQube when code quality and technical-debt tracking across the whole org is the goal and you're happy to run the server. Pick SlopGrade when you specifically want to block security leaks in AI-written code on every PR, with no infrastructure and no source egress — the two are complementary, not mutually exclusive.
Is SlopGrade a SonarQube replacement?
No — different jobs. SonarQube tracks code quality and technical debt org-wide; SlopGrade does not measure quality at all. It replaces the security-gate piece with a deterministic, 0-egress leak gate and adds cross-tenant isolation. Teams often keep SonarQube for quality and add SlopGrade for the security block.
Do I need to run a server?
No. SlopGrade is a GitHub Action that runs on your existing runner via keyless OIDC — there is nothing to host, patch, or scale.
