In a strategic move to strengthen its position as a leader in development acceleration, Incredibuild announced the acquisition of Garden, a DevOps platform known for its cutting-edge continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) acceleration tools. The integration of Garden’s technology into Incredibuild’s platform aims to streamline software delivery processes, offering end-to-end acceleration solutions that span the entire development lifecycle. With this acquisition, Incredibuild is poised to enhance the speed and efficiency of development cycles, benefiting clients across a broad range of industries.

Enhancing the DevOps Pipeline

Founded in 2018, Garden has established itself as an innovator in the DevOps space, particularly through its robust open-source tools designed to improve CI/CD pipelines. By simplifying the complexities of continuous integration, Garden’s solutions enable development teams to increase deployment frequency, reduce time to market, and improve overall software quality. Through this acquisition, Incredibuild adds CI/CD acceleration to its existing strengths in build and compilation, creating a comprehensive solution that serves every phase of the development lifecycle.

Tami Mazel Shachar, CEO of Incredibuild, emphasized the value of this partnership for Incredibuild’s mission. “The acquisition of Garden advances our goal of taking the pain out of long development cycles,” Shachar said. “Customers have long struggled with CI pipelines that are slow and complicated, and Garden’s expertise aligns perfectly with our mission to accelerate every aspect of software development.”

Expanding Incredibuild’s Reach in DevOps

For over 20 years, Incredibuild has been helping developers and engineers increase productivity with its platform that enables distributed, cached build acceleration, as well as orchestration and observability tools. The company’s solutions have been particularly effective for C++ development, gaming, and CI/CD pipelines, helping clients reduce both time and computational costs. With Garden now part of its portfolio, Incredibuild can further extend its acceleration capabilities to DevOps teams, automating workflows to enhance the CI/CD process.

Jon Edvald, CEO of Garden, expressed his enthusiasm about joining forces with Incredibuild. “What excites me most is our shared passion for making developers faster. Together, we provide a complete suite of tools to help developers worldwide,” he stated. Edvald noted that Incredibuild’s strength in build acceleration combined with Garden’s CI/CD expertise will “accelerate pipelines in every way,” impacting everything from development to deployment.

Accelerating the Full Development Lifecycle

Incredibuild’s acquisition of Garden represents a forward-thinking approach to providing acceleration across the entire development lifecycle. By integrating Garden’s CI/CD acceleration technology, Incredibuild strengthens its platform with capabilities that extend from the initial stages of development through to production deployment. The merger is expected to provide clients with significant improvements in pipeline management and automation, along with increased deployment speeds.

Garden’s solutions are especially valuable to clients in industries where rapid, efficient CI/CD processes are critical. The platform’s caching technology and “production-like environments” feature offer a competitive advantage by allowing developers to work in environments that mirror live production settings. This approach reduces risks and ensures a smoother, faster path from development to deployment.

Broader Impacts and Industry Applications

Incredibuild’s clients span industries such as gaming, automotive, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, where efficient development and testing processes are essential. This acquisition enhances Incredibuild’s ability to serve diverse industries by offering not only build and compilation acceleration but also CI/CD pipeline optimization, making it easier for companies to handle complex, high-frequency deployments.

By providing acceleration solutions that encompass both build and CI/CD processes, Incredibuild aims to deliver measurable improvements in productivity, deployment speed, and cost savings. The integration of Garden’s technology will also enable Incredibuild to attract new customers seeking a seamless, end-to-end development acceleration solution.

With the acquisition of Garden, Incredibuild is set to redefine the software development landscape by offering a robust, all-encompassing solution for accelerating DevOps workflows. The combined expertise of both companies provides an unmatched acceleration platform for development teams worldwide, helping them overcome the challenges of long development cycles and complex CI/CD pipelines. As the company continues to innovate, Incredibuild’s expanded platform is likely to become a cornerstone in the DevOps acceleration space, providing industry-leading tools that cater to the full spectrum of software development needs.
