Migrate from CodeSee to Koalr
CodeSee was acquired by GitKraken and the standalone product was sunset. Koalr gives engineering teams DORA metrics, PR analytics, deployment risk prediction, and AI-powered insights — up and running in under 30 minutes.
What You Get Instead
CodeSee was built for code understanding and onboarding. Koalr is built for engineering metrics, delivery performance, and deployment safety — what most teams actually need after they have onboarded.
Where CodeSee showed you how code was connected, Koalr shows you how your delivery pipeline is performing. All four DORA metrics calculated from your real GitHub and deployment data, plus a deployment risk score on every PR before it merges.
Koalr gives you PR cycle time broken down by stage — time to first review, review duration, merge lag — across every team and repo. Compare performance against DORA elite benchmarks and track trends over time.
Ask Koalr in plain English: “Which repos have the highest deployment risk this week?” Get an instant answer. CODEOWNERS sync ensures the right reviewers are enforced automatically on every PR — no manual review assignment needed.
Koalr connects GitHub, Jira, Linear, PagerDuty, Slack, Datadog, Snyk, ArgoCD, and more. Your DORA metrics pull from real deployment events, not estimates — and incident correlation works out of the box with PagerDuty.
Migration Steps
No data import required. Koalr reads directly from your GitHub history, Jira, and Linear. Most teams are live within 30 minutes.
Install the Koalr GitHub App. Koalr immediately begins backfilling 90 days of PR history — your DORA baselines are populated from day one, no manual import needed.
Authorize via OAuth. Issue-to-PR linkage and incident correlation happen automatically. Koalr maps your existing workflows without manual reconfiguration.
Add engineers and engineering managers by email. Koalr reads your existing CODEOWNERS files and enforces reviewer rules automatically — nothing to reconfigure.
When the next PR opens in your repos, Koalr calculates a deployment risk score and posts it as a GitHub Check. Your DORA dashboards are live. Total elapsed time: under 30 minutes.

Common Questions
CodeSee was about code visualization — does Koalr do that?
Koalr focuses on engineering metrics and delivery performance rather than codebase mapping. Where CodeSee showed you how files and services were connected, Koalr shows you how your delivery pipeline is performing — DORA metrics, PR cycle time, deployment risk scores, and team health. If you used CodeSee primarily for onboarding new engineers to the codebase, tools like Sourcegraph or GitHub Copilot Chat may also be worth evaluating alongside Koalr.
Is CodeSee completely gone, or just changed?
GitKraken acquired CodeSee and kept some features inside the GitKraken product, but the standalone CodeSee product and brand were sunset. If you had a CodeSee subscription, that product is no longer available as a standalone tool.
What's the best replacement for CodeSee's team maps and tour features?
Koalr replaces the engineering metrics side of what CodeSee's customers needed — DORA dashboards, PR health, deployment risk. For interactive codebase maps and guided code tours specifically, Sourcegraph and CodeStream (by New Relic) cover that use case more directly. Many teams use Koalr for metrics and a separate tool for code navigation.
How long does migration take?
Most teams are fully live on Koalr in under 30 minutes. Connect GitHub (5 minutes), add Jira or Linear (5 minutes), invite your team (10 minutes), and your first PR risk score posts automatically. Koalr backfills 90 days of history on first connect, so your DORA trends are available from day one.
Does Koalr support GitLab and Bitbucket, or only GitHub?
Koalr supports GitHub natively today, with GitLab and Bitbucket on the roadmap. If your team uses GitLab or Bitbucket Cloud, book a call and we can discuss your timeline.
