With $3.1M in private funding from technology executives, Nitric aims to significantly reduce the DevOps burden of building distributed applications in the cloud and de-risk technology choices by making them easy to change as needed.
Nitric the multi-language framework for cloud applications with infrastructure from code, launches out of preview phase with new features to deliver on the vision of making cloud development fast, fun and flexible. With $3.1M in private funding from technology executives, Nitric aims to significantly reduce the DevOps burden of building distributed applications in the cloud and de-risk technology choices by making them easy to change as needed.
Nitric was founded by Jye Cusch and Tim Holm after facing overlapping cloud development challenges working both in engineering leadership roles with large fintech providers and on their own startup. In each case, there was a frustrating tradeoff between moving fast with the benefits of the cloud or maintaining flexibility to switch services or cloud providers down the road.
Based on these common struggles, Jye and Tim built the open source Nitric framework to solve the portability vs. productivity problem. Nitric enables teams to develop cloud apps fast, have fun building, and not outgrow their architecture.
“We started Nitric with a big focus on multi-cloud,” said Jye Cusch, Nitric Co-Founder, “but our early users were mostly interested in Nitric because it removed decision fatigue. They could get started quickly without being hung up on whether their technology decisions were correct, since they’d be able to change them later without modifying their core code. Our work on that use case has led to helping our latest customers and users scale their feature development without having to scale their investment in DevOps.”

Today’s release of version 1.0.0 of the Nitric framework includes a number of enhancements that make it even faster to build for AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, and even easier to swap out individual services so that applications flex to business needs over time.
“Nitric has completely transformed our developer productivity so that we can deliver business value quickly. We never worry or struggle with infrastructure provisioning and deployment as a result of implementing Nitric,” commented Malcolm Edgar, CTO at Drop Bio Health. “Version 1 provides additional customization, transparency and robustness that will aid our team in implementing architectural decisions based on business needs.”
