Reshift was a developer-focused SAST platform for Java and JavaScript. The service is no longer available at its former product domain, so this page is retained as a historical reference.
What Reshift was
A February 2021 company announcement described Reshift as a SaaS application security platform. It added JavaScript scanning to an existing Java capability.
The announcement said Reshift used a Datalog scanning engine, vulnerability-detection rules, and machine-learning-assisted triage. These are historical vendor claims, not current product capabilities or independently benchmarked outcomes.
Reshift’s public npm plugin described curated JavaScript security checks, issue explanations, remediation snippets, and developer guidance. The plugin required a Reshift account and token to run a scan.
The separate IntelliJ plugin targeted Java developers. Its repository describes security findings, remediation snippets, and supporting documentation inside the IDE.
Why Reshift is marked deprecated
The former Reshift domain no longer serves the product and now redirects to an unrelated site. No current official Reshift product page, successor, acquisition, or rebrand was identified during this audit.
Public artifacts are also old:
| Artifact | Last verified activity |
|---|---|
npm package @reshiftsecurity/reshift-plugin-npm | Version 2.0.2 published August 6, 2021 |
| Main public npm plugin repository | Latest commit May 26, 2022 |
| Public IntelliJ plugin repository | Latest commit August 9, 2021 |
This evidence supports classifying the product as unavailable. It does not establish a precise date when the company or service ceased operating, so this page does not assign one.
Historical product boundaries
Reshift should not be described as Node.js-only. The public npm plugin focused on JavaScript, while the company announcement and IntelliJ plugin document Java coverage.
The company announced plans for C#, C/C++, and Python in 2021, but the reviewed public sources do not establish that those scanners shipped. They are therefore not listed as supported languages.
Historical pricing is not included. No current vendor-controlled pricing page exists, and old third-party listings are not reliable enough to publish as product pricing.
Choosing a replacement
Start with the languages and workflows Reshift covered: Java or JavaScript analysis, command-line or IDE feedback, remediation guidance, and repository integration. Then compare active tools on deployment model, analysis depth, support, and current pricing.
The SAST tools directory lists the active products currently tracked by AppSec Santa. It is safer than treating one named scanner as a universal replacement.
