Anubhav Sanyal
Anubhav is a Senior Software Engineer at National Australia Bank, where he focuses on system test automation, backend tooling, and developer productivity across large-scale microservices.
Previously, he worked at Swiggy, one of India’s leading tech startups, where he contributed to improving automation frameworks and scaling quality practices in a high-growth environment. Before that, he began his career at STMicroelectronics, gaining hands-on experience with low-level engineering and large enterprise systems.
Outside of work, Anubhav is an active open-source contributor and the creator of RedCoffee, a Python CLI for generating SonarQube reports that has been downloaded over 36,000 times worldwide. He enjoys building tools that bridge gaps between developer workflows and real-world usability, with interests spanning Python, Docker, cloud-native ecosystems, and test automation.
When he’s not writing code, Anubhav enjoys traveling (especially to Japan), exploring local cultures, and tinkering with creative side projects that merge technology with everyday life.
Session
SonarQube ( https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarqube/ ) is one of the most popular tools for static code analysis, widely used to track code quality, vulnerabilities, bugs, maintainability, duplication, and test coverage. It integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines and often becomes the single source of truth for code health in engineering teams.
While large enterprises may opt for SonarQube’s paid editions, many smaller startups, independent developers, and even internal teams rely on the free Community Edition. A key limitation there is the lack of PDF reporting. Earlier plugins existed but are now unmaintained, leaving no reliable way to generate portable reports.
This gap becomes more visible in practice:
Non-engineering stakeholders (managers, auditors, clients) struggle with the dashboard format.
Engineering teams often need portable PDFs for compliance, audits, and easy sharing.
Docker-based or local SonarQube setups make reports even harder to share beyond the developer’s machine.
In large organizations, SonarQube dashboards may be hidden behind network or access restrictions, blocking visibility for those who need it most.
This is where RedCoffee comes in.
RedCoffee is an open-source Python CLI that connects to SonarQube APIs, extracts key metrics, and brews them into actionable PDF reports. It bridges the gap between powerful static analysis and real-world usability, making SonarQube insights portable, shareable, and automation-friendly.
