InfraDNA

What InfraDNA does

InfraDNA was a privately held enterprise software company focused on the continuous integration and DevOps market. The company's core technology centered on the Hudson open-source CI tool and its enterprise-certified derivative, Nectar 1.0, which added stable release cycles and enterprise plugins including VMware ESXi auto-scale functionality. Its product portfolio comprised three deployment options: an on-premise Hudson distribution, a cloud-based offering branded DEV@cloud, and mixed-scenario (hybrid) deployments, all consolidated post-combination under a single customer-facing point of contact. The company was founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Jose, CA, with a small employee base in the 11-50 range.

The commercial model centered on enterprise software licensing with a recurring/subscription structure, targeting enterprise software teams that required certified, stable CI/CD infrastructure with predictable release cadence and enterprise support. Distribution was enterprise field sales, with on-premise, cloud, and hybrid deployment flexibility. The go-to-market was horizontal across enterprise DevOps buyers rather than vertical-specialized, and pricing was not publicly disclosed. The company had no disclosed external funding, no named reference customers, and no public revenue figures, indicating a bootstrapped or founder-financed operating posture.

On 2026-02-26, InfraDNA announced it was joining forces with CloudBees, with founder Kohsuke Kawaguchi (creator of the Hudson open-source CI tool) joining CloudBees along with the company. The combination consolidated the on-premise Hudson, cloud-based DEV@cloud, and hybrid deployment offerings under one umbrella and resulted in Nectar 1.0 being repositioned as the rebranded enterprise-certified Hudson offering. The transaction effectively ended InfraDNA's independent operations, leaving it as a subsidiary entity within CloudBees. Note: input sources show inconsistencies regarding founding year (2010 vs. 2019), founder identity (Kohsuke Kawaguchi vs. Bryant Jacobson), and product focus (enterprise CI/CD vs. technology news blog); the enterprise-software narrative above reflects the dominant firmographic and news-record signal.
