Key features
- Multi-repo context: AI grounded in Sourcegraph APAC code graph across all repositories
- Enterprise self-hosted: APAC code never leaves on-premises infrastructure
- VS Code / JetBrains extension: APAC teams keep existing IDE, add Cody as plugin
- BYO LLM: Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or self-hosted models for APAC sovereignty
- Symbol-aware context: Sourcegraph code intelligence for APAC definition/reference retrieval
- Code search integration: Sourcegraph search powering APAC AI context retrieval
Best for
- APAC enterprise engineering organizations already using Sourcegraph for code search who want AI coding assistance grounded in multi-repository code intelligence — with self-hosted deployment for strict APAC data sovereignty requirements.
Limitations to know
- ! Requires Sourcegraph deployment for full enterprise context — APAC teams without Sourcegraph lose multi-repo advantage
- ! Enterprise self-hosted requires Sourcegraph Enterprise license — significant APAC infrastructure cost
- ! Extension model means less IDE integration depth than Cursor or Windsurf for APAC teams
About Sourcegraph Cody
Sourcegraph Cody is an AI coding assistant built on top of Sourcegraph's code intelligence platform — differentiating from Cursor and Windsurf by grounding AI assistance in Sourcegraph's code graph, which indexes code across multiple APAC repositories and tracks symbol definitions, references, and usages. APAC enterprises running Sourcegraph already have a code intelligence layer; Cody adds AI generation on top.
For APAC organizations with dozens of repositories (microservices, shared libraries, internal packages), Cody's multi-repo context retrieval surfaces relevant code from across the entire APAC codebase — not just the open file or single repository. An APAC developer asking "show me all the places this authentication interface is implemented across APAC services" gets answers grounded in the Sourcegraph code graph rather than file-level search.
Cody's enterprise self-hosted deployment (Sourcegraph Enterprise) runs entirely within the APAC organization's infrastructure — no APAC code sent to Sourcegraph's cloud. APAC enterprises with strict data sovereignty requirements (government, financial services, healthcare) can run Cody on-premises with their own LLM backend (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or self-hosted models), maintaining APAC code within their security perimeter.
Cody integrates with VS Code and JetBrains IDEs as extensions — allowing APAC developers to keep their existing IDE while adding Cody's Sourcegraph-grounded AI assistance. This differs from Cursor and Windsurf, which require APAC developers to switch to a new IDE.
