Products & Services
AGPL-3.0 open-source, self-hosted AI code-review engine for GitHub pull requests. It processes pull-request events and changed files, posts inline findings and check-run status, and provides dashboards for jobs, repositories, model routing, history, usage, and failures.
A browser new-tab dashboard that provides instant access to GitHub, Figma, and Slack, with universal app search and intelligent shortcuts.
A minimalist, moonlit VS Code theme with a deliberately simple, calming visual style.
A production web checker and open-source project for checking the CVE-2024-6387 vulnerability.
Market Position
Devarshi's Codra is positioned as an ownership- and privacy-first alternative to hosted AI PR-review products. Its differentiators are self-hosting, AGPL source, no Codra-imposed usage cap, provider/model choice, inspectable job history, and repository-specific policy. The broader AI code-review category includes CodeRabbit, Qodo, Greptile, Graphite Agent, and SonarQube Cloud; unlike those generally hosted or centrally managed offerings, Codra emphasizes operator-controlled infrastructure and data.
Leadership
Founders
Devarshi Shimpi
Founder and software engineer focused on full-stack development, open source, DevOps, and technical writing; his public profiles describe him as founder of PrismLink and Codra, and as a software engineer at TheCloudOps Community.
Founding Story
Devarshi describes Codra as born from wanting an AI code-review workflow he could own rather than access through a subscription or opaque service with changing quotas and model limits. He built Codra as a self-hosted, open-source engine so deployment, credentials, providers, data boundary, and usage remain under the operator's control.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Devarshi's public materials position Codra as free/open-source software that users self-host or fork; users supply their own infrastructure and model-provider credentials. The personal site also offers a 'Work With Me' contact route, but no public plan or service pricing was found.
Pricing Tiers
AGPL-3.0 source code; self-host, run hosted on infrastructure you control, or fork it. Any model-provider and infrastructure costs are borne by the operator.
