About

DevZero is a Seattle-based developer infrastructure company that provides cloud development environments designed to give every engineer a fast, production-like workspace without the overhead of maintaining local development setups. DevZero environments are pre-built with all repositories, tools, and credentials configured, enabling developers to start productive work in minutes rather than spending days on environment setup. The platform clones environments quickly from snapshots, ensuring every developer always works in a fresh, consistent state, and enables isolated environments per feature branch for parallel development work. DevZero's approach reduces the growing complexity of local development environments, which have become impractical as codebases grow and microservices multiply. The company targets engineering-heavy companies scaling from 50 to 500+ engineers where environment management becomes a significant productivity drag. Founded in 2022 and backed by investors including Felicis Ventures, DevZero has grown by addressing developer frustration with the time lost to environment management and the increasing power consumption of running complex stacks locally.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
