Israeli DevOps company Datree today announced it has raised $3 million in seed funding from TLV Partners. With offices in Tel Aviv and San Francisco, the company was founded by CEO Arthur Schmunk, CPO Eyar Zilberman and CTO Shimon Tolts.
Datree fixes the challenges of DevOps scaling by cataloging an organization’s entire development stack, automating Git Operations tasks and preventing dangerous changes to applications and infrastructure. Datree's customers include HoneyBook, SimilarWeb and PlayBuzz.
Tolts said, "Almost every software company had a DevOps horror story to tell. Software teams are drowning in repositories and code components. Companies with automated CI/CD pipelines and advanced infrastructures are still managing their repositories manually and tracking their code components on massive Excel spreadsheets. That’s not DevOps."
Schmunk said, Configs-as-code and automatic deployment have changed. Even among the software giants, a typo in a configuration file can cause huge infrastructure outages. One company told us that a minor change to a template file on Git removed their whole application’s security systems by mistake due to automated deployment. Datree would prevent a change like that from being merged in the first place."
"DevOps is broken," continued Schmunk. "Nobody knows what’s going on it’s too easy to break something. If ‘Everything is Code’, the answer to all of these problems must be in the repositories and the code they contain."
"The rise of DevOps means developers are more autonomous," says Rona Segev, the managing partner of TLV Partners. "But it also means they use more third-party tools, services, internal packages and open source software. These multiple ‘Shadow Tech Stacks’ create a jungle with no internal oversight or cross-team collaboration. Organizations want to do DevOps while maintaining standards and best practices, and without losing the innovation and speed brought by developer freedom. This is what datree brings, and that’s why we are so excited to partner with them."
Zilberman said, "Developers want freedom but also want to do their best work. They want to follow company standards but in a decentralized world, it’s impossible to keep up with the sheer amount of information. They want to move fast, but they don’t want to bring down their company’s whole service because they missed a line in a config. Datree’s insights make developers feel more connected and informed, and our smart policies give them a safety net, letting developers and organizations do DevOps with confidence."
