DevOps startup Garden.io raises $16M to improve cloud software delivery cycles
Summary
Kubernetes tooling startup Garden Germany GmbH, which does business as Garden.io, said today it has raised $16 million in a new round of funding aimed at helping it fulfill its mission of improving developer productivity. In an interview with SiliconANGLE, Garden.io founder and Chief Executive Jon Edvald (pictured) said the company’s platform is most useful for developers in the first half of the software delivery cycle. “Garden.io can consistently build whole systems and spin up production-like environments from scratch, allowing developers to quickly see results as they work, to preview changes for their team, and run automated tests, all in one setup,” Edvald said. This is powered by the stack graph, which can describe how an entire system is built, deployed and tested, from source to finish.” Edvald claimed that the average developer will be able to save several hours of time every single week using Garden. The company cited data from a 2021 survey it did with Vanson Bourne, which shows how cloud developers only spend 11% of their time on actually writing code.
