CodeCritical SaaS

The Challenge

In large codebases, technical debt accumulates rapidly. Manual code reviews are time-consuming and often miss subtle structural issues that lead to long-term maintainability problems. Enterprise teams needed a unified platform that combines security scanning, static analysis, and architecture validation.

The Solution

CodeCritical SaaS is a security scanning platform that combines container vulnerability scanning, static analysis, and custom architecture rules into a single platform. It gives developers immediate visibility into vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and architectural drift before they reach production.

Technical Implementation

The platform uses a Spring Boot backend with a modern Java runtime, fronted by a Vue 3 SPA with Pinia state management. The system implements shared-database multi-tenancy with row-level security using tenant-aware partitioning. Authentication uses custom JWT handlers with refresh token rotation and role-based access control.

Architecture Highlights

• Edge Layer: Nginx Gateway handles routing and SSL termination
• Application Layer: Vue 3 frontend + Spring Boot API
• Data Layer: PostgreSQL relational store + Redis cache layer
• Multi-Tenancy: Shared database with tenant isolation and row-level security
• Authentication: Stateless JWTs with role-based claims
• Scan Pipeline: Redis-backed queue with async job processing
• Cache Strategy: Write-through pattern with configurable TTL for scan results and dashboard stats

Frontend Architecture

The Vue 3 frontend uses a composite navigation header with component-based architecture. The Admin Hub provides admin sections for user management, request handling, scan monitoring, capacity planning, and feedback. A platform banner system enables announcement management.
