CloudBees<\/a>, the enterprise continuous integration and delivery service (and the biggest contributor to the Jenkins open-source automation server), today announced that it has acquired Electric Cloud, a continuous delivery and automation platform that first launched all the way back in 2002.<\/p>\n

The two companies did not disclose the price of the acquisition, but CloudBees <\/a> has raised a total of $113.2 million while Electric Cloud raised $64.6 million from the likes of \u00a0Rembrandt Venture Partners, U.S. Venture Partners, RRE Ventures and Next47.<\/p>\n

CloudBees plans to integrate Electric Cloud\u2019s <\/a> application release automation platform into its offerings. Electric Flow\u2019s 110 employees will join CloudBees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of today, we provide customers with best-of-breed CI\/CD software from a single vendor, establishing CloudBees as a continuous delivery powerhouse,\u201d said Sacha Labourey, the CEO and co-founder of CloudBees, in today\u2019s announcement. \u201cBy combining the strength of CloudBees, Electric Cloud, Jenkins and Jenkins X, CloudBees offers the best CI\/CD solution for any application, from classic to Kubernetes, on-premise to cloud, self-managed to self-service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Electric Cloud offers its users a number of tools for automating their release pipelines and managing the application lifecycle afterward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to joining\u00a0CloudBees\u00a0and executing on our shared goal of helping customers build software that matters,\u201d said Carmine Napolitano, CEO, Electric Cloud. \u201cThe combination of\u00a0CloudBees\u2019 industry-leading continuous integration and continuous delivery platform, along with Electric Cloud\u2019s industry-leading application release orchestration solution, gives our customers the best foundation for releasing apps at any speed the business demands.\u201d<\/p>\n

As CloudBees CPO Christina Noren noted during her keynote at CloudBees\u2019 developer conference today, the company\u2019s customers are getting more sophisticated in their DevOps platforms, but they are starting to run into new problems now that they\u2019ve reached this point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is that these customers have disconnected and fragmented islands of information,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s the view that each development team has [\u2026] and there\u2019s not a common language, there\u2019s not a common data model, and there\u2019s not an end-to-end process that unites from left to right, top to bottom.\u201d This kind of integrated system is what CloudBees is building toward (and that competitors like GitLab<\/a> would argue they already offer). Today\u2019s announcement marks a first step into this direction toward building a full software delivery management platform<\/a>, though others are likely to follow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

During his company\u2019s developer conference, Labourey also today noted that CloudBees will profit from Electric Cloud\u2019s long-standing expertise in continuous delivery and that the acquisition will turn CloudBees into a \u201cDevOps powerhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s announcement follows CloudBees\u2019 acquisition of CI\/CD tool CodeShip last year. As of now, CodeShip<\/a> remains a stand-alone product in the company\u2019s lineup. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how CloudBees will integrate Electric Cloud\u2019s products to build a more integrated system.<\/p>\n
