About Us:
Engine Yard came about in early 2006 because we saw a genuine need:
customers were developing business-critical Rails apps, but they didn't
want to worry about deployment issues, nor did they want to hire IT
staff to manage servers.
Customers wanted Rails-focused 24/7 operations support on top of great
infrastructure, plus they wanted a smooth path from 100 users to 100,000
users.
That's what Engine Yard is all about.
Perhaps most importantly, we really enjoy what we're doing and we
believe in running a healthy, profitable business that will last well
into the future.
To date, we?ve raised $37.5 million of funding with participation from
Amazon.com, New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA), and Benchmark
Capital.
