✓ Use when

Engineering and security teams that want custom SAST rules and fast feedback on PRs — especially strong for polyglot codebases.

✗ Avoid when

Teams standardized on a single language with a strong built-in linter ecosystem may get enough coverage from native tools.

What is Semgrep?

Semgrep is a static analysis tool where rules are written in a syntax that mirrors the target language, making custom rules approachable for any developer. Scans run in seconds on PRs, not hours. Semgrep Cloud Platform adds supply chain (SCA), secrets detection, and managed rule sets. Competes with Snyk Code and CodeQL; favored by engineering-led teams that want to own rule authoring.
