July 2020 Summaries

Northflank has successfully raised $2.6 million in a seed round to launch a comprehensive cloud platform designed for DevOps, streamlining the development, operation, and management of web applications, microservices, and databases through a unified interface and API. By integrating various DevOps capabilities, Northflank simplifies the deployment process by allowing developers to connect their repositories from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket and deploy using Dockerfiles. The platform offers a developer-friendly pricing model based on resource consumption, enabling scalable horizontal and vertical service scaling, and includes a role-based access control system for team collaboration. Founded by Will and Fred, who first connected through multiplayer gaming, Northflank's remote and distributed team has grown to include engineers and designers from multiple countries. With backing from prominent firms like Kindred Ventures and Stride.VC, as well as support from several angel investors, Northflank plans to enhance its platform by improving speed, expanding regional support, and adding features like mono-repo and UDP service support.
