How is this different from CodeRabbit?
MergeWatch runs in your AWS account. Your code never leaves your infrastructure. There is no per-seat pricing — you pay your own Bedrock bill. The project is AGPL v3 open source, and reviews run through a multi-agent parallel pipeline rather than a single-pass model.
Does MergeWatch store my code?
Does MergeWatch store my code?
- Self-hosted: No. Everything runs in your AWS account. MergeWatch has zero access to your code.
- SaaS + BYOC: MergeWatch processes the diff in-memory to call your Bedrock endpoint. Nothing is persisted.
- SaaS + MergeWatch Bedrock: Same as BYOC, but MergeWatch pays the Bedrock bill. The diff is processed in-memory and not stored.

What's the difference between BYOC and self-hosted?
- BYOC: You use the mergewatch.ai SaaS for orchestration but connect your own Bedrock account via an IAM cross-account role.
