Massdriver, an extensible cloud operations platform with an intuitive visual interface that enables self-service and reduces infrastructure burdens for software engineers and cloud ops teams deploying cloud-native applications without lock-in, has secured $8 million in funding.
This round fuels Massdriver’s mission to make cloud infrastructure easy, open, and approachable for every engineering team through an agnostic solution.
The round was led by Builders VC, and includes 1984 Ventures, Y Combinator, Uncorrelated Ventures, Page One Ventures, Soma Capital, Hack VC, and technical founder angels with experience starting their own successful businesses.
As part of its commitment to open-source, Massdriver is an early supporter of the OpenTF (http://opentf.org) initiative aiming to counter HashiCorp to keep Terraform as a community-driven infrastructure as code tool.
"We're on a mission to liberate developers from infrastructure burdens, and open source is core to that mission," said Cory O’Daniel, co-founder and CEO of Massdriver. "With our latest funding, and by participation in OpenTF, we aim to restore true open-source freedom to infrastructure provisioning. Developers deserve choice, transparency, and community-driven innovation."
Massdriver combines decades of cloud expertise into a single tool to streamline cloud infrastructure development like never before.
The platform empowers engineers to deploy infrastructure securely and confidently without extensive expertise. Builders can manage databases, machine learning pipelines, and serverless computing with ease.
