INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Codefresh, a continuous integration and delivery platform built for the Kubernetes container ecosystem, today announced that it has raised
an $8 million Series B round led by M12, Microsoft venture fund.Viola Ventures, Hillsven and CEIF also participated in this round, which
brings the company total funding to $15.1 million.
In a market where there are seemingly more CI/CD platforms every day, Codefresh sets
itself apart thanks to its focus on Kubernetes, which is now essentially the de facto standard for container orchestration services and
which is seeing a rapid growth in adoption
The service promises that it can help developers to automate their application deployments to Kubernetes and that teams will see &up to 24X
faster development times.& That number seems a bit optimistic, but the whole point of adoption Kubernetes and CI/CD is obviously to speed up
the development and deployment process.
&The meteoric rise of Kubernetes is happening so fast that most toolchains haven&t kept up, and M12
knows it,& said Raziel Tabib, Codefresh co-founder and CEO
&With this latest round of funding we&re going to aggressively accelerate our roadmap and expand our customer base.&
The Codefresh platform
hit general availability in 2017 and the company currently claims about 20,000 users, including the likes Giphy.
