AtomicJar Secures $25 Million in Series A Funding for Testcontainers Cloud Service
Are you a developer looking to streamline your testing process and improve your confidence in the software you create? If so, you’ll be excited to hear about the latest news from AtomicJar, the lead commercial sponsor behind the popular open source Testcontainers library.
AtomicJar recently announced that it has secured $25 million in a Series A round of funding, with global software investor Insight Partners leading the way. This funding will be used to scale AtomicJar’s development team and go-to-market efforts. But that’s not all – alongside the funding, AtomicJar has released its Testcontainers Cloud service as a public beta, with the goal of enhancing the testing experience for developers.
So, what exactly is Testcontainers and how does it work to improve developer testing? Testcontainers is a software library that helps developers execute integration testing for containers and microservices-based applications. The project started in 2015 and has since evolved into a powerful tool for enabling developers to do integration testing at the earliest stages of development in an iterative process.
Sergei Egorov, co-founder and CEO of AtomicJar, explained that the goal of Testcontainers is to provide developers with immediate feedback on their code changes, allowing them to be more confident in the software they are creating. By simplifying the process of setting up testing environments and providing all the required dependencies in containers, Testcontainers makes integration testing more accessible and efficient for developers.
With the launch of Testcontainers Cloud, developers can now offload and scale their testing operations in the cloud, avoiding the resource limitations they may face when running tests locally. This managed service leverages an edge network of cloud compute resources to run tests in parallel, making testing more efficient and scalable.
Looking ahead, AtomicJar plans to expand its offering beyond Testcontainers, with the goal of providing developers with a variety of tools to increase their confidence in the software they create. By focusing on improving the application testing experience, AtomicJar aims to empower developers to build better software with greater ease and efficiency.
If you’re a developer looking to streamline your testing process and boost your confidence in your code, keep an eye on AtomicJar and Testcontainers as they continue to innovate and enhance the developer testing experience. With their latest funding and the launch of Testcontainers Cloud, exciting things are on the horizon for developers seeking to improve their testing workflows.
