Company mission
To give everyone the power and freedom to build modern software that runs their world.
28% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
The advent of cloud computing while making computational power and applications accessible to enterprises of all sizes, has also ushered in a new problem for enterprises - laboring over software infrastructure.
Giant Swarm fixes that problem by delivering software infrastructure management as a service. Crucial to its approach, however, is that it's not tied to a single software trend. Instead, it emphasizes managing microservices with an uncanny ability to evolve with an ever-changing market.
That means that Giant Swarm will continue to invest in its impressive engineering and product teams, refining its product continuously to best serve the DevOps teams of its customers.
Impressively, the company has been bootstrapped yet profitable to date. However, this lack of access to additional capital could become troublesome as they look to compete in a more and more densely crowded market.
