Guardia
Guardia is a deployment risk copilot integrated within JetBrains IDE that can proactively alert developers about risks in their code before deployment.
Core trick
Matches code changes against Datadog incident history inside a JetBrains plugin to flag deployment risk before merge.
Description
Guardia is a deployment risk copilot integrated within JetBrains IDE that can proactively alert developers about risks in their code before deployment. Grounded in DataDog data and prior incident history, it can point to the exact line of code that would break the existing codebase before a PR is pushed. Guardia also has auto healing capabilities and can automatically fix the code, explain why it is a deployment risk, and tie it to the exact incident number that was caused by similar code, e.g. a null pointer exception error in the same service.
The key differentiator of Guardia is it is written for developers working in enterprise environments: it bundles all the context from incident data, with Codex as the reasoning layer to allow developers to push code more effectively. Developers can feel assured shipping features quickly knowing they have a safeguard that can proactively detect incidents before they happen.
README excerpt
# Guardia — Proactive Deployment Risk for JetBrains IntelliJ  **The SRE co-pilot that lives in your JetBrains IDE.** Guardia surfaces deployment risk inside the editor — *before* you merge, *before* you deploy — by pairing your Datadog incident history and release cadence with an OpenAI Codex agent loop grounded in that data. Tags: **`JETBRAINS`** · `OPENAI` · `CODEX` · `DATADOG` · `SUPABASE` · `SRE` Cerebral Valley "IDE Reimagined" — **Category 3: Reviewing & Deploying Code** · JetBrains × OpenAI · April 18–19, 2026. --- ## 1. The problem — deployment risk is hiding in plain sight Every engineering team lives the same four-act tragedy: 1. A PR looks clean in review. 2. It merges and deploys. 3. Datadog lights up. 4. The post-mortem concludes with *"we'd seen this pattern before."* The signal was always there — in Datadog's incident history, in the error-rate delta on the touched service, in the specific snippet that broke production six weeks ago. It just never reached the place where the decision to merge gets made: the IDE. **Today's tools each own one piece:** Datadog owns runtime data but lives in a separate tab. Copilot and Cursor know the code but not the runtime. GitHub PR checks gate bad merges only after you push. None of them surface production risk *while a developer is writing the diff.* **The unoccupied ground:** deployment r
