The code review feature seems too expensive to run on every PR automatically (to me): $0.75 per 100 lines of code. From their example pricing: "if you have a typical pull request with 500 lines of code, it would only cost $3.75 to run CodeGuru Reviewer on it." I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.

"Amazon CodeGuru is a machine learning service for automated code reviews and application performance recommendations. It helps you find the most expensive lines of code that hurt application performance..." I suspect if AWS is using customers code bases to train its AI models? Another source is to scavenge open source repositories.

I was thinking about the same thing. Even for a small project of 3 developers, it seems like this would rise easily to the $100+/month, for suggestions that may not even be that useful.

that's insanely expensive if you're doing any type of code generation.

This seems like a good incentive not to be generating thousands of lines of codes with each PR, which most would probably consider a feature as opposed to a bug.

That’s incredibly cheap, assuming it provides good suggestions. How much time does it take you to review 500 lines of code change, and what’s your time worth? If it takes 10 minutes and your time is worth about $20/hour or more, this service will part for itself immediately.

exactly. IMO if you're generating code, it should happen at build/compile time not at checkin
