Zoncolan helps security engineers scale their work by using static analysis to examine code and detect security or privacy issues. Facebook’s web codebase currently contains more than 100 million lines of Hack code, and changes thousands of times per day. To handle the sheer volume of code, we build sophisticated systems that help our security engineers review code.
Today, we are sharing the details of one of those tools, called Zoncolan, for the first time. Zoncolan helps security engineers scale their work by using static analysis to automatically examine our code and detect potentially dangerous security or privacy issues. To handle the sheer volume of code, we build sophisticated systems that help our security engineers review code.
