Israel's JFrog buys US DevOps co CloudMunch

Israeli DevOps company JFrog has announced that it has acquired US DevOps Intelligence platform Cloudmunch to expand its product offerings for developers. This is the third strategic acquisition by JFrog in the past eight months, following Dimon, experts in CI/CD, and Conan, the fast-growing open source C/C++ package manager. No financial details about the acquisition were disclosed.

JFrog already solves critical pieces of the DevOps toolchain, such as safely storing, managing, and distributing binaries. However, it is no longer enough to have high performance tools in place for digital agility. Organizations need to maximize performance further. Getting to the next level requires measuring bottlenecks in order to break through to exceptional performance.

CloudMunch is democratizing DevOps and accelerating the process with a powerful, full stack Intelligence solution. Backed with $3.5 million from venture capital funds and VMware capital, CloudMunch has developed a solution to help teams collaborate their software efforts at scale and enable better insights on the software delivery lifecycle. The company’s leadership and strong engineering team based in Seattle, WA, and Bangalore, India will be merged into JFrog.

Together with CloudMunch, JFrog will make another leap forward to fulfill its vision of Liquid Software with a complete solution which provides a full picture of the DevOps process, collecting key metrics, correlating them across the diverse systems, and giving actionable information to development managers, operations teams, and compliance officers. CloudMunch integrates with key systems like JIRA, GitHub, BitBucket, Jenkins, SonarQube, Kubernetes, and, of course, JFrog Artifactory.

"The DevOps revolution started with automation, augmenting developer tasks. This is not enough anymore. Next gen DevOps will need insights into the release flow and a better understanding of the ROI on fast releases," said Shlomi Ben Haim, CEO and Co-Founder of JFrog. "At swampUP we announced the JFrog platform, an end-to-end bundled solution for fast releases. With CloudMunch on board, we can now provide the insight layer that will share the DevOps flow analytics. We are thrilled by this union with CloudMunch and team members that are highly skilled and, just as importantly, their engineering culture and values fit with JFrog’s obsession with customer happiness and quality."
