Frog Ltd. (“JFrog”) (NASDAQ: FROG), the Liquid software company, today declared the acquisition of Upswift, the creators of connected device management software for developers. The combined companies aim to deliver the industry’s first complete development-to-device platform that bridges the gap between current IoT software silos and common DevOps processes, such as dependency scanning, CI/CD, artifact management, shifting left for application security, software distribution and more. This empowers developers to connect modern CI/CD and ScOps workflows to the world of connected devices, providing a complete process from software creation to full deployment on the device itself.
Shlomi Ben Haim, Co-Founder and CEO of JFrog, said “we are extremely excited about this acquisition on several levels – the technology the people, and the market potential,” “not only will we be able to connect the worlds of DevOps and IoT for the first time and make digital transformation real foe developers, but we are also joining forces with an incredible team with a passion for innovation and infinite scale. This is another big leap towards our Liquid Software vision of becoming the company that powers the world’s software updates, amplifying our product roadmap and opening new market opportunities.”
Upswift is a scalable, cloud-based platform that delivers continuous monitoring, visibility, control, and secure. Over- the- air (OAT) updates to a wide range of edge and IoT devices. Our unique technology provides the first end-to-end solution for edge device monitoring with the ability to rapidly understand its state, resource availability, and performance, with automatic anomaly detection in a plug-and –play design to eliminate the complexity of deploying and managing intelligent edge devices at scale.
Yoav Landman, CO-founder and CTO of JFrog, said “most edge IoT device software update solutions are homegrown, specialized and sioled from modern CI/CD and the DevOps software development lifecycle,” “at the same time, most of today’s DevOps solutions are not built to deliver and deploy software updates to distributed edge and IoT environments, nor manage them on a ongoing basis. Upswift provides a developers-focused device management and software update technology that easily integrates with current DevOps automation workflows and developer ecosystems, allowing continuous delivery to devices to happen naturally.”
