GitLab Integration — Automated merge request reviews

Your merge requests in GitLab deserve more than a code style check.
Sopa reviews them automatically to ensure every change meets the product requirements.

The problem

Merge requests are often approved without validating if the implementation actually meets the original specs.
This causes:

• Functional bugs slipping into production.
• More QA cycles and delays.
• Misalignment between dev and product teams.

The solution with Sopa

With the GitLab integration, Sopa:

• Reads the linked product ticket (Jira, Linear, etc.).
• Analyses the code changes in the merge request.
• Flags missing acceptance criteria or functional mismatches.
• Posts feedback directly in the merge request for fast fixes.

This means functional validation happens before merge, inside GitLab.

Real example

A SaaS team connected Sopa to their GitLab repos.
Sopa caught that a requested API endpoint was missing error handling before the merge.
Fixing it early saved them from a support incident after release.
