The two faces of tomorrow
Blog post from Blacksmith
A CI infrastructure company announced a $10 million Series A led by Google Ventures, citing rapid growth driven by rising software output and AI-assisted code generation. The company argues that as coding becomes faster, continuous integration, code review, testing, and merging have become major development bottlenecks; its customers have increased CI usage by 60% per developer each quarter over the past year. It has built a purpose-designed cloud hardware and software platform for CI, serving 9,000 developers across 800 organizations and processing 12 million CI jobs monthly. Beyond CI execution, it has expanded into observability tools including logging and test analytics to help teams diagnose failures and reduce pull-request-to-merge time. The company plans to explore further infrastructure needs created by AI and is recruiting across roles.
