Sourcery Code Review is available as a GitLab bot that can be installed on any GitLab Cloud repository. Sourcery will review any new merge request made on that repo and provide instant feedback on the MR.

You can use Sourcery for free in GitLab with any public repositories and can try out Sourcery for free for 14 days on private repositories.
