Why Hybrid?

Instant (Security Only)

• Instant feedback on critical vulnerabilities
• Fast (15-30 seconds)
• No rate-limit issues (single analyzer)
• Gives developers immediate actionable insights

Queued (Full Analysis)

• Comprehensive review with all 4 analyzers
• Runs during off-peak or as capacity allows
• Uses in-memory queue (can upgrade to Postgres/Redis)
• Cron job processes every 5 minutes
• Handles rate limits gracefully

Why Vercel Workflow?

• Durability: Survives crashes, auto-resumes
• Step Caching: Results persist, no re-runs
• Scalability: 2000+ concurrent PRs
• Retries: Automatic on transient failures

Tech Stack

• Framework: Hono (lightweight, fast)
• Orchestration: Vercel Workflow DevKit
• AI: Claude Sonnet 4.6 via Vercel AI Gateway
• Language: TypeScript
• GitHub API: Octokit

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm/pnpm
• GitHub account with app creation access
• Vercel account (for deployment)

Local Development

1. Clone & install

   npm install

2. Set up GitHub App (see SETUP.md)

   cp .env.local.example .env.local
   # Fill in GITHUB_APP_ID, GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY, GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET

3. Run locally

   npm run dev

4. In another terminal, start Workflow

   npx workflow dev

5. Test with a webhook Use GitHub's webhook "Redeliver" feature to test with a past PR event.

Deploy to Vercel

1. Push to GitHub

   git push

2. Deploy

   vercel deploy

3. Set environment variables in Vercel dashboard:

   • GITHUB_APP_ID
   • GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY (base64 encoded)
   • GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET
   • Optionally: AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY (uses OIDC on Vercel if not set)

4. Update GitHub App webhook URL to your Vercel deployment URL

Usage

Once deployed and installed on a repository:

Stage 1: Instant Security Scan (15-30s)

1. Create or update a PR in the repository
2. Within 15-30 seconds, a comment appears:

   ## 🔒 Security Scan (Instant)
   

   • Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities
   • Hardcoded secrets, injection risks
   • Immediate action items

Stage 2: Full Analysis (5-30min)

3. Within 5-30 minutes, a follow-up comment appears:

   ## 📊 Full Code Review (Complete Analysis)
   

   • 🔒 Security (all findings)
   • 🐛 Bugs (logic errors, race conditions)
   • ✨ Quality (readability, maintainability)
   • 📐 Conventions (style, naming, consistency)

Each finding includes:

• Severity level (🔴 critical, 🟠 high, 🟡 medium, 🔵 low)
• File and line number
• Clear issue description
• Suggested fix

API Endpoints

Method	Path	Description
POST	/webhooks/github	GitHub webhook (PR events) — triggers instant + queue
GET	/api/process-queue	Process queued full reviews (called by cron every 5min)
GET	/health	Health check
GET	/	API info

Configuration

Environment Variables

# GitHub App
GITHUB_APP_ID=
GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY=           # Base64 encoded PEM
GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=

# AI Gateway (optional on Vercel, uses OIDC)
AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=

Workflow Limits

• Review timeout: ~60-90s per PR (default Workflow timeout)
• Diff size: Truncated to top 15 files if >16KB
• Parallel analyzers: 4 concurrent Claude calls
• Rate limiting: Automatic retry with exponential backoff

Monitoring

Local Development

# Check Workflow health
npx workflow health

# View workflow dashboard
npx workflow web

# Inspect runs
npx workflow inspect runs

# Check specific run
npx workflow inspect run <run_id>

Production (Vercel)

# View logs
vercel logs

# Check Workflow on production
npx workflow inspect runs --backend vercel --project <project-name>

Performance at Scale (2000 PRs/min)

Instant Path (Security Only)

• Latency: 15-30 seconds
• API calls per PR: 2 (fetch diff, post comment)
• LLM calls per PR: 1 (security analyzer)
• Rate limit pressure: Low (can handle 2000/min easily)

Queued Path (Full Analysis)

• Processing delay: 5-30 minutes (depends on queue depth)
• API calls per PR: 2 (fetch diff, post follow-up comment)
• LLM calls per PR: 4 (all analyzers)
• Rate limit mitigation: Queue + cron scheduling spreads load
• Queue processing: Cron every 5 min, processes ~30-50 PRs per batch

Total Request Volume at 2000 PRs/min

• GitHub API: ~4000 calls/min (2 per PR) = 240K/hour = ✅ Safe (per-installation limit: 5000/hour)
• Claude API: ~5000 calls/min (instant 1x, queued 4x averaged over time) = ✅ Within limits
• Workflow concurrency: Instant jobs run concurrently, queued jobs batch-processed
• Infrastructure: Hono handles concurrent webhook processing seamlessly

Future Enhancements

• Configurable analyzer prompts per repo/team
• Historical trend tracking (improvements over time)
• Custom rules engine for organization-specific checks
• Integration with other tools (JIRA, Slack notifications)
• Batch PR analysis for large changes
• Cost optimization (cache results, reduce redundant calls)
