Cloud-Native, AI-Based Codebases Are Leaving Static Analysis Behind

Modern software development has evolved fast, and static analysis-based security tools haven’t. Today’s engineering teams are building cloud native apps using microservices, containers, serverless functions, and dynamic infrastructure that changes by the minute. Meanwhile, generative AI is accelerating how and when we write code. Developers now use LLMs to scaffold out APIs, generate config files, and even handle business logic. The result? Code is shipping faster than ever, but the complexity — and the risk — are stacking up.

And…
