About Us
Engine Yard came about in early 2006 because we saw a genuine need: customers were developing business-critical Rails apps, but they didn't want to worry about deployment issues, nor did they want to hire IT staff to manage servers.
Customers wanted Rails-focused 24/7 operations support on top of great infrastructure, plus they wanted a smooth path from 100 users to 100,000 users.
That's what Engine Yard is all about.
Perhaps most importantly, we really enjoy what we're doing and we believe in running a healthy, profitable business that will last well into the future.
In January, 2008, we announced a $3.5M investment from Benchmark Capital.
In July of 2008, Engine Yard closed Series B financing of $15 million led by New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA), with participation from Amazon.com and current investor Benchmark Capital. The new funding will help Engine Yard accelerate business, bolster R&D of our forthcoming cloud computing cluster platform, and continue to drive innovation with Ruby open-source projects, Rubinius and Merb.
Our History
We've been working professionally in software and hardware companies since the late-1980's.
As young adults, we started or joined businesses where our skills were profitable. We liked technology and we liked making money by making customers happy.
Through the 90's, we managed a number of small/medium-sized businesses in areas like embedded computing, digital printing, and high-volume text messaging. (For the hardware and robotics folks reading this, we co-founded the company that makes BASIC Stamp® tiny computers.)
We got into Unix/Linux and Perl in 1995, which led us into the first internet revolution (Web 1.0). By the late-90's, we were building high-volume web sites for companies in San Francisco.
Ruby on Rails attracted our attention in 2004, and by late-2005, we were working with early Rails clients around the USA through our staffing/recruiting company, Quality Humans, Inc.
