History

CloudBees was founded in 2010 by Sacha Labourey and Francois Dechery. Later that year, CloudBees acquired InfraDNA, a company run by Kohsuke Kawaguchi, the creator of Jenkins.[6][8]

Since 2010, CloudBees has raised a total of over $250 million in venture financing from investors. CloudBees customers include Salesforce, Capital One, United States Air Force ,[16] and HSBC.[13]

In September 2014, CloudBees stopped offering runtime PaaS services and began to focus on its enterprise Jenkins for on-premises and cloud-based continuous delivery.[5][14] Also in 2014, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, the lead developer and founder of Jenkins, became CloudBees' CTO.[8][14]

In 2016, the company added a Software as a Service (SaaS) version of its continuous delivery software.[17]

In February 2018, CloudBees acquired the cloud-based continuous delivery company Codeship.[18]

In 2019, CloudBees acquired Electric Cloud and Rollout.[19]

In 2020, Kawaguchi left his role as CTO of CloudBees to found a new company, Launchable.[20]

In 2021, CloudBees announced CloudBees Compliance, a compliance and risk analysis capability platform for software delivery.[21] CloudBees raised $150 million in a series F funding round in December 2021.[13]

In 2022, CloudBees announced the acquisition of ReleaseIQ, a SaaS-based offering, to expand the company’s DevSecOps capabilities.[22]
