Every large engineering organization is running a software factory now, whether they call it that or not. Some are still mostly human. Most are a blend of human and agent. A few are racing toward mostly-agentic. All of them are producing more code than their delivery systems were built to handle.
Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. The constraint has moved downstream to reviewing, securing, and validating what reaches production. An ungoverned factory still ships, and that's the danger. At enterprise scale, thousands of developers, heterogeneous toolchains, and regulatory requirements compound the risk with every release.
CloudBees starts after the code change. Coding agents, source control, and issue tracking are the context we read, no matter which ones you use or how often you change them. Our job begins the moment a change is proposed and doesn't stop until it's running safely at scale, across environments most vendors were never designed for.
You write code for a reason. Every commit is a bet that something gets better for a customer or for the business. CloudBees makes every change visible, auditable, and accountable, and connects it to the impact it was meant to have. As AI makes code abundant, CloudBees makes software delivery governed and trusted.
Story
CloudBees was founded on a simple belief: software delivery is both a technical and human challenge, and one that requires tools developers love and platforms enterprises trust.
Sixteen years later, that belief faces its biggest test. Agents now write code alongside humans, and the hard part is no longer producing software. It’s governing what ships and proving it did what it was meant to do. And that’s the problem CloudBees was built to solve.
2010
Built for Developers by Developers. CloudBees was founded to be open and flexible, and eliminate friction between an idea and production. Built on Jenkins, the engine powering CI/CD for millions, CloudBees brought enterprise-grade automation to software delivery from day one. The DevOps era had begun, and CloudBees was at its center.

2016
The Enterprise Jenkins Standard. With 10.3 million developers running Jenkins globally and 40%+ CI/CD market share, CloudBees became the de-facto enterprise standard for continuous integration. Hundreds of the world's largest organizations, from financial services to aerospace, trusted CloudBees to ship faster and safer.

2024
A New Lens on DevOps. CloudBees reimagined its brand as a strategic declaration. The new identity reflects how CloudBees helps enterprises see their software delivery environments differently: with clarity, context, and control. A brand built for what's next. Read the story
A new brand for the new era.
2025
One Control Plane. Any Toolchain. No Migration Needed. CloudBees Unify redefined what enterprise DevOps could look like, not by asking teams to rip and replace, but by acting as an intelligent operating layer across existing toolchains. CI/CD, security, compliance, AI-driven testing, and full release governance unified in a single platform. Built for the world's most complex organizations. Built for the agentic era.

2026
The Governed Software Factory. Codeship founder Moritz Plassnig returned as CEO to lead CloudBees into the agentic coding era. With agents committing, testing, and deploying code autonomously, the bottleneck shifted from generating code to governing what reaches production. CloudBees answered by becoming an AI-first company, in the products it ships and in how it runs, making every change, human or AI, visible, auditable, and accountable, across every tool in the stack.
