We are thrilled to announce that Nimbella is now part of DigitalOcean (see press release here).

Three years ago, we set out to create the simplest cloud for application developers, using serverless computing as our foundation. We built Nimbella to fulfill the serverless promise: for developers to focus on their applications, never the infrastructure. We are extremely proud of what our team has accomplished so far, and we are excited for the deep potential ahead to make the serverless cloud even more accessible and simpler to use by developers of all skill sets around the world.

The serverless cloud is a powerful supercomputer, allowing services to be offered and consumed through APIs, and empowering developers to create and build their applications without having to understand complex issues with distributed systems, data consistency, content delivery, infrastructure security and management. Nimbella’s differentiated platform addresses the challenges in building modern cloud applications that incorporate compute, data, and application state. We built a cloud that frees developers from having to consider, configure, or directly provision dozens of cloud resources and services needed to create applications that are secure, scalable, and cost efficient.

We are grateful for our global community of developers who built their applications using Nimbella Cloud, and for our Nimbella Enterprise clients who trusted us with their business use-cases. We look forward to bringing you more value during this next phase of our growth. We are also grateful to our team for their dedication and creativity, and all the investors who believed in our vision for a serverless future and our ability to execute.

We look forward to integrating our serverless products with DigitalOcean’s core services. We are collectively committed to the simplicity and beauty that DigitalOcean developers are accustomed to. Together, we are accelerating toward a future that removes barriers to entry for application developers around the world.
