LocalStack has secured 25 million US dollars in a Series A financing round. The round was led by the Californian investment firm Notable Capital, which is based in Menlo Park, while existing investors CRV and Heavybit from San Francisco were also involved in the process. “This milestone marks a pivotal moment for LocalStack”, the company writes in a press release, “as we continue our mission to give developers control over cloud development and help enterprises build faster, better, and more efficiently.”
Founded in 2021, the Zurich-based start-up has up to now made it possible via its platform to run complete AWS environments on local computers, enabling developers to gain speed and reduce cloud dependencies. According to the information, this platform is used in 8 million sessions per week, records 280 million Docker pulls and has more than 900 paying customers, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, including SiriusXM and Chime.
As the press release states, this fresh capital injection “opens up new opportunities for expanding LocalStack’s capabilities and going beyond AWS”. For example, “recent previews for Snowflake and our roadmap for an Azure emulator” ensure that LocalStack is in a position to support multi-cloud strategies. “Expanding beyond AWS will strengthen LocalStack’s role as the de facto platform for local cloud development and will enable new use cases like developing cross-cloud integrations or testing cloud migrations”. ce/mm
