DevZero

DevZero is a start-up company that has built a cloud-based software development platform that allows companies to configure, secure, and scale development environments to increase developer productivity and reduce technology infrastructure costs. In January 2024, DevZero released its Developer Environment Platform, which enables developers to write and test code in environments that exactly simulate production.

Introducing DevZero

DevZero was cofounded by former Uber engineers Debo Ray and Rob Fletcher in 2021 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Ray and Fletcher founded DevZero to offer any company affordable and scalable access to developer environment platforms like those found at large technology companies like Uber, Meta, Carta, and Twilio. Sid Trivedi of Foundation Capital, one of the firms that has invested in the company, sits on the DevZero board.

The DevZero platform allows development teams to work together seamlessly, collaboratively, and securely in a cloud-based environment. Developers can also reserve on-demand, ephemeral, and ready-to-code development environments that are just like production. DevZero’s platform enables teams that have embraced Kubernetes or serverless architectures to give their developers production-like environments to write and test code.
