Bunnyshell

Bunnyshell operates as an Environment-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform, providing solutions for DevOps automation and cloud management tailored for enterprise SaaS companies. The company was co-founded in 2018 by CEO Alin Dobra and CTO Roxana Ciobanu. Dobra, with over a decade of experience in IT and software engineering, was motivated to create Bunnyshell after identifying a market gap for a tool that could automate server setup, deployment, monitoring, and scaling across various cloud platforms. Ciobanu brings expertise as a DevOps engineer and solution architect, with a focus on cloud technologies, high availability, and performance tuning.

The firm's core business revolves around simplifying the software production cycle for development teams. Bunnyshell's platform is designed to create and manage development, staging, and production environments on Kubernetes for any application. It serves a diverse client base, from startups and SMBs to large corporations with over 500 developers across Europe, North America, and Asia. Revenue is generated through a SaaS model, providing clients with its Internal Developer Platform that streamlines workflows. A key feature of the platform is the creation of ephemeral, production-like environments for every pull request, which accelerates review cycles and allows for collaborative testing before merging code. This eliminates bottlenecks associated with shared staging environments and helps catch integration bugs early. The platform also offers remote development capabilities, enabling developers to work in standardized, cloud-based environments by syncing local changes in real-time, thus resolving the common "it works on my machine" issue.

Bunnyshell has reached several significant milestones, securing multiple funding rounds to fuel its expansion. The company has raised a total of $6.15M, including a Series A round of $4M in April 2022, led by Early Game Ventures and ROCA X, aimed at expanding its presence in the US market. Initially, the company began by assisting customers with cloud transitions before evolving its product to meet broader industry needs. Demonstrating a commitment to security and reliability, Bunnyshell has achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance and ISO 27001 certification. The platform integrates with existing CI/CD and DevOps tools through a REST API, CLI tool, Github Actions, and a Go SDK, and supports multiple cloud providers like Azure, AWS, and DigitalOcean.
