# CircleCI

Once your project is created and initiated from the repository you selected, follow our [official Orb Quick Start Guide](https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/sonarsource/sonarcloud) to set up your project using Maven, Gradle, and other build technologies. Check also [our Orb’s readme](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarcloud-circleci-orb/blob/master/README.md).

## Limitations

* Make (for C/C++ projects) and MSBuild are not yet supported.
* The Orb is currently available only for Linux and x64 architecture.

## Using the US region

To use the [US region](/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/getting-started-in-us-region.md), you must set the `sonar.region` property to `us`. Whether you use our Orb or the SonarScanner CLI directly in your CircleCI, we recommend that you add the `SONAR_REGION` environment variable to your [CircleCI context](https://circleci.com/docs/contexts/).

## Troubleshooting

**Analysis time is unexpectedly slow**

If analysis is unexpectedly slow or appears stuck when running on CircleCI, check whether your pipelines use blobless or otherwise partial Git checkouts. Configuring a full checkout by changing any occurences of the `checkout` step in the CircleCI config might help restore normal performance:

```
- checkout:
    method: full
```
