Platformatic, a San Francisco, CA, and Vancouver, BC, Canada-based backend development platform for developers and enterprises to build modern API-driven applications, raised $3.5m in funding.
Decibel led the round, with participation from Panache Ventures and several angel investors including GitHub founder Tom Preston-Werner, Socket founder and CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh, major Node.js contributor James Snell, Tier.run founder Jevon MacDonald, Silicon Valley investor Walter Kortschak, and serial entrepreneur and investor Omri Barzilay.
The company will use the funding to extend the platform, grow the team, and continue establishing Fastify as the go-to open-source web framework for Node.js development.
Co-founded by Matteo Collina (CTO), and Luca Maraschi (CEO), Platformatic enables developers to build a backend out of the box so they can start building the applications that matter instead of complex underlying infrastructure. The company’s core product is an instant backend architecture with components for Node.js applications including native database integration, integration with existing CI/CD tools, application templates, feature flagging, IDE integrations, and observability.
Platformatic has launched a suite of new enterprise-grade products that can be self-hosted on-prem, in a private cloud, or on Platformatic’s managed cloud service:
- Platformatic Runtime: Maintain the benefits of microservices but deploy them as a monolithic app for increased resiliency.The Runtime API consolidates all of an organization’s Node.js applications and microservices into a single unit for deployment, reducing deployment-related risks and bolstering standardization.
- Platformatic Taxonomy: Create a comprehensive map of microservices connections and dependencies to assess application architecture and deployment risks.
- Platformatic Composition: Automatically compose microservices into one ecosystem with a single public API, guaranteeing low-latency communication.
- Platformatic Cloud: A cloud environment for deploying Node.js applications with pull request previews, rapid deploys and observability built in.
