Frequently asked questions about Second Home
What is Second and what does it do?
Second is an AI-driven enterprise codebase maintenance platform that includes automated migrations, refactors, and intelligence for engineering teams. It specializes in web application modernization such as AngularJS to React, and customers also use it to generate tests, manage feature flags, update UI components, and update i18n libraries.
How does the migration process work?
Users connect a Second Agent to their GitHub account, select a repository or use an example template, run a migration module, and get a pull request. Each module is hand-built to perform specific migrations as a high-level blueprint. Agents run these modules using AI, codemods, and other techniques for directory restructuring and code changes, with proprietary codebase scanners and dependency resolvers.
What code repositories does Second support?
Second integrates seamlessly with popular repository platforms including GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, allowing engineers to connect their repositories and maintain high standards of performance while accelerating project timelines.
Is Second secure for enterprise use?
Yes, Second prioritizes security with dedicated tenant deployments and SOC 2 Type II compliance, making it a trusted choice for enterprises. The platform manages sensitive data with stringent protocols, assuring organizations that their code is secure during migrations and upgrades, especially crucial for companies in regulated industries.
What specific migrations does Second specialize in?
Second specializes in web application modernization such as AngularJS to React migrations. They also handle Create React App to Next.js migrations, migrating from class-based React components to functional hooks, upgrading major versions of Django or Rails, and enforcing new linting rules across hundreds of microservices.
How does Second ensure code quality and safety?
Second integrates with CI/CD pipelines to run existing test suites against AI-generated changes. If tests fail, the agent can attempt to fix errors automatically before asking for human review. The platform provides dashboards, scans, and reports to effortlessly detect security vulnerabilities, slow code, fragile code, dead code, redundancies, and anti-patterns.
What is the difference between Starter and Enterprise plans?
The Starter plan is free forever with up to 100,000 lines of code changed per year, shared tenant, GitHub integration, and Discord community. The Enterprise plan has tailored pricing with unlimited lines of code changed, dashboards/scans/reports, dedicated tenant, GitHub/Bitbucket/GitLab integrations, SSO, dedicated CSM, private Slack/Discord channel, and CEO's WhatsApp number.
Can Second handle large enterprise codebases?
Second has completed 2,000 projects, run 10,000 jobs, saved 100,000 hours of human labor, and transformed 10M lines of code. The platform is designed for large engineering teams facing technical debt, though there may be potential challenges with very large monolithic codebases where complex dependencies exist.
What besides migrations does Second help with?
Beyond migrations, Second offers codebase intelligence features including dashboards, scans, and reports to identify security vulnerabilities and code quality issues. It can automatically generate tickets and resolve issues through pull requests. Customers also use Second to generate tests, manage feature flags, update UI components, and update i18n libraries.
How do Modules work in Second?
Modules are specialized instructions for specific tasks like migrating MUI v4 to v5. Each module is hand-built to perform specific migrations and serves as a high-level blueprint or plan. These modules ensure consistency across thousands of files, which is impossible with standard chat interfaces like ChatGPT where you paste code snippets.
