System Initiative, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of an intelligent automation platform that allows DevOps teams to build detailed interactive simulations of their infrastructure and use them to update their production environments, secured $18M in venture funding.
The funding included a $3M in Seed led by Amplify Partners with participation from Storm Ventures and Battery Ventures, and a $15M in Series A led by Scale Venture Partners with participation from existing investors. Sunil Daliwal, General Partner, Amplify Partners and Ariel Tseitlin, Partner, Scale Venture Partners, sit on the SI board of directors.
Led by Adam Jacob, CEO and Co-Founder, SI is building an open source, community-driven platform, which is being developed directly and collaboratively with the world’s top experts in infrastructure engineering. System Initiative provides:
- Focused Collaboration through a fully multiplayer visual interface (like Figma for infrastructure)
- Intelligent Automation that uses the relationships between high-fidelity models to infer configuration dynamically and then automatically writes the necessary code
- Fast Feedback Loops through which each model is qualified for use in real-time, providing immediate insight into the viability of a configuration. There are no state files to track and no ‘plan’ vs ‘apply’ stages – only real-time design and action
- Delightful Customization through writing TypeScript functions – users can change everything about SI from within the platform and share those changes with others
It is available today in private beta for the devoted DevOps builder and will soon be available as open source software to the general public.
