December 2017 Summaries

On March 4, 2018, Contentful will be changing the domain from which user-generated assets are served in order to better isolate content from potentially malicious uploads. The change primarily affects users accessing Contentful through secure proxies or with security policies in place, requiring additional steps to update their configurations. User-generated assets will be served from the new `ctfassets.net` domain, while HTTP/2 performance improvements will also be implemented at the same time.

Today we are excited to announce that we have reached two critical milestones: closing our series C funding of $28 million and refocusing the company on its vision to become the underlying content infrastructure for any digital product, whether it be a website, app, or device. We've come a long way since 2011 when we started powering content in mobile apps and modern web apps, and have seen rapid adoption by innovative companies who are using our technology in conjunction with other platforms to re-architect their software development processes. The shift towards digital teams building flexible software development platforms that enable them to ship multiple digital products faster is changing the way cross-functional teams work, and we're providing a missing piece of the puzzle - content infrastructure that enables collaboration, interoperability, and composable components. We've teamed up with General Catalyst to provide additional funding and expertise, and are planning to grow our partner network and build out our developer ecosystem to spread the word about our technology.
