We’ve helped many customers successfully integrate SonarQube with GitLab and get the most out of both platforms.
Over time, we’ve seen several common use cases where teams benefit from connecting the two.
Here are some examples:
- Merge‑time “shift‑left” feedback: show new bugs, security issues, coverage drops and quality‑gate status directly on every Merge Request (MR)
- CI/CD gatekeeping: make pipelines fail (or external status checks fail) when the quality gate is red, ensuring only clean & secure code reaches the main branch.
- Single sign‑on, group sync & compliance: reuse GitLab OAuth, group hierarchy and audit events inside SonarQube
- Portfolio & compliance dashboards: import hundreds of GitLab repos into SonarQube for executive‑level code‑health reporting
- Security vulnerability triage in GitLab: send SonarQube SAST findings to the GitLab Vulnerability Report so AppSec teams keep one queue
Some of these features require paid editions – others do not.
Would any of these scenarios be useful for your team?
