Today I am pleased to announce our $12.3 million seed round led by Thomvest Ventures alongside our loyal supporters at FireBolt Ventures, WestWave Capital, and Secure Octane. I’m also excited to announce that appCD has just undergone a transformation that aligns best with our mission: say hello to StackGen! 🎉
So, what does this mean for StackGen? We are ramping up our product development, supercharging our go-to-market strategies, and setting the stage for some serious company growth as 2024’s best infrastructure as code automation tool.
StackGen represents the next evolution of our commitment to revolutionizing infrastructure from code. Our new name isn’t just a facelift—it’s a reflection of our mission to deliver seamless, full-stack infrastructure solutions that make developers’ lives easier and enforce the highest industry standards.
Today, StackGen provides Generative Infrastructure from Code automatically based on application code with golden standards applied. Unlike manual infrastructure as code (IaC) creation or “golden” templates, StackGen auto-generates IaC from the application code itself to standardize and streamline cloud deployments. No application source code changes are needed.
Application cloud deployments are streamlined and aligned, allowing developers a better, more productive experience without becoming infrastructure experts. IaC is standardized by default when created to ensure consistency, security and policy are built-in (not scanned after creation). Applications are provisioned with least-privileged access controls.
StackGen removes SDLC bottlenecks, minimizes liabilities and eliminates cognitive overload. Organizations benefit from accelerated time to market and improved employee productivity. Cloud is secure by default with golden standards built into the application process. Applications are deployed with dependencies, resiliency, reliability and security automatically built-in saving company resources and removing human errors.
Along with our new identity, we’ve continued to grow our leadership team with the appointment of Arshad Sayyad as our Chief Business Officer. Arshad brings a wealth of experience from his time as President of Fidelity Investments India and Managing Director at Accenture. Arshad joins our outstanding leadership team including Asif Awan, Chief Product Officer, VP of Marketing, Danielle Cook, a CNCF Ambassador and former leader at Fairwinds and Ondata, and VP of Product, Lauren Rother, formerly of HashiCorp, VP of Engineering Cesar Rodriguez, creator of Terrascan and VP of Engineering - India, Kunal Dabir. Our team is ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible with infrastructure from code.
Our Generative Infrastructure from Code solution launched in March, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Both developers and platform engineers are choosing StackGen to auto-genrate infrastructure from code. This early momentum is proof that we’re on the right track, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.
So, here’s to StackGen—our new name, our new chapter, and a future full of possibilities. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come! 🚀
