The developer tools market is evolving to accommodate modern workflows characterized by complex build scripts, diverse code layouts, and mixed programming languages and architectures. Earthly aims to address these needs by providing tools that enhance developer efficiency and consistency across various operating systems and processor architectures. Recently, Earthly announced a $6.5 million Seed+ funding round, led by Davis Treybig from Innovation Endeavors, bringing their total capital raised to $8.6 million. The investment, supported by influential figures from companies like Cockroach Labs, DigitalOcean, and DataDog, will be used to enhance Earthly Cloud, a platform offering fast, repeatable build processes with easy-to-use CI pipelines and an instantly available build cache. Earthly's approach promises to streamline software development by allowing teams to write CI pipelines once and execute them anywhere, bridging the gap left by older technologies ill-suited for this new landscape.
