history

Project history and usage

Datadog Static Analyzer is the command-line static analysis engine for Datadog Static Code Analysis.

Project history

The public Datadog repository was created in July 2023 and published an initial 0.0.1 release that same month. Its README positions the analyzer as the engine behind Datadog's SAST product and documents direct CLI, Docker, CI/CD, and IDE usage.

Adoption history

Adoption follows Datadog's Code Security product rather than a standalone community plugin model: the official docs describe scans in CI/CD pipelines or hosted scanning, pull-request feedback, IDE integrations, and Datadog result views.

How it is used

Users run `datadog-static-analyzer` against a directory and emit CSV or SARIF-style reports, optionally selecting rules through a `code-security.datadog.yaml` file at the repository root.

Why package nerds care

For package managers, the analyzer is notable because it packages a vendor SAST engine as a local binary that can run outside the Datadog UI while still feeding Datadog-oriented code-security workflows.

Timeline

2023: Public repository created and 0.0.1 initial release published.
2026: 0.8.x releases show continuing binary distribution through GitHub releases.

Related projects

Official integrations include a GitHub Action, a CircleCI orb, Datadog IDE plugins, and the broader Datadog Code Security product.
