Revolutionizing Codebase Knowledge Management with Zevo: A Paradigm Shift

TL;DR: Think of Zevo as Google Maps for your codebase. It revolutionizes codebase knowledge management by offering visual insights and addressing challenges in understanding complex codebases.

Introduction

As software developers, understanding our codebases becomes increasingly vital, especially in complex microservices environments. Zevo addresses this need, replacing outdated documentation, static code analysis, and group discussion with a dynamic code visualization tool.

What is Zevo.ai?

Zevo is a code visualization and dependency-finding tool that constructs comprehensive visual diagrams of your codebase, from infrastructure to functionality. It facilitates code exploration at a feature level, answering intricate questions like “How does the authentication service interact with the invoice generation module?”

Challenges Addressed:

• Complexity of Large Codebases: Managing extensive, legacy codebases is daunting.
• Context Erosion: Maintaining context for each feature implementation is nearly impossible.
• Outdated Documentation: Documentation quickly becomes obsolete in the evolving software landscape.
• Code Refactoring: Understanding code when written on a legacy language like COBOL.

An iceberg of challenges for development

Key Features ahead:

• Code Onboarding( Beta ready ): Visualize code based on the selected branch.
• Code Review Tool( Beta ready ): Visual Snapshot code flow pre and post-push, analyze for errors, and enforce standards.
• Auto Documentation: Automatically document code visually and textually.
• Debugging with Visualization: Trace system flows with breakpoints.
• Jira/Tracking Tool Workflows: Extract and visualize information from tracking tools.
• POC Validator: Execute code in supported languages, with analysis of changes.
• Code Visualization Chat Bot: Query code using web interface, CLI, or APIs.

Why Zevo Stands Out:

• Visualizing Complexities: Zevo is like Google Maps for your codebase, eliminating the need to explain code or read any documents.
• Legacy Codebases: Understand legacy codebases in various languages.
• Inter-Repository Dynamics: Provides a comprehensive view of backend flows. Our tool understands your entire repo contextually rather than providing a file stream graph.
• Contextual Code Understanding: Offers context beyond function calls and variable interactions.
• Security: We offer both on-prem and cloud solutions.

Supported Languages and IDEs

Initially, Zevo supports Ruby, JavaScript, Go, Python, Java, C#, and PHP, with plans to expand to Cobol, .net, HTML, and more.

When will it be available?

Our team is working tirelessly to bring the product into reality. We are actively giving out our beta product to select developers for testing purposes.
