Can we have more than one worker on Sonarqube for analysis?


We’ve noticed that the Community Edition of SonarQube uses only a single worker to perform all the analysis, which results in longer processing times. As a result, we need to wait for the entire analysis to complete before proceeding with the deployment, to avoid deploying components that fail to meet the quality gate criteria.

We would like to know if it’s possible to add additional workers and configure them to speed up the analysis process in SonarQube.

Hi @raks05
Multiple workers on SonarQube Server is possible starting in commercial editions, especially on Enterprise and Data Center Editions.
You will see more info here:

That will indeed lead to a better performance and parallel processing to ensure a smooth developer experience for all analysis.

You will also benefit from branch analysis and PR decoration, SAST analysis and additional languages and governance features.
If you are interested in knowing more, reach out directly to contact@sonarsource.com, so we can guide you there.

Thanks,
Carine

Is there a option to install worker for community edition as we are using community edition?

This is only available starting in Enterprise Edition as mentioned in the docs I shared.
