Review Board
Palo Alto, California, United States
What it is
Review Board is a web-based tool for reviewing code and other project materials, including images, documentation, presentations, and marketing files. Teams can set review workflows, control approvals, and keep an audit trail of review decisions. Review Bot automates checks using lint, static-analysis, compliance, and security tools. A Python extension framework, REST APIs, webhooks, and RBTools support customization of workflows and integrations. The software can be self-hosted on compatible Linux systems, macOS, or WSL for Windows, including Docker deployments, and can run on private networks or in air-gapped environments. Self-hosted servers do not send data to outside services unless administrators configure them to do so. Supported source-control systems include Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce, Mercurial, Subversion, Azure DevOps, and ClearCase. Review Board is open source under the MIT license, and its Community plan is free. Basic costs $6 a month, billed month-to-month. Power Pack has a 60-day trial for unlimited users; afterward, two users can continue using it free.
