Windsurf Deprecates Forge, Shifts Code Review Strategy
Windsurf is deprecating Forge, its AI code review tool. If you're using it, plan your migration now.
TL;DR
- Windsurf is deprecating Forge, its AI code review tool
- Focus shifting to better-integrated code review workflows
- Existing Forge users should plan migration
What's Changing
- Forge deprecation — Windsurf is sunsetting its standalone code review feature in favor of more integrated approaches
- Timeline unclear — No specific end-of-life date announced yet; check official docs for migration guidance
What This Means
If you're using Forge for AI-assisted code review, you'll need to transition to alternative workflows. Windsurf is signaling a strategic pivot toward embedding code review capabilities more tightly into the editor itself, rather than maintaining a separate tool. This aligns with recent Windsurf Wave 8 updates that expanded editor-native features.
For teams relying on Forge as part of their CI/CD or review process, start evaluating alternatives now. The deprecation suggests Windsurf wants to consolidate its product surface and focus engineering effort elsewhere.
