Through our focus on container lifecycle management, Wercker’s mission has always been to enable developers to focus on what matters most: innovating and building great products and applications in a simple, repeatable and reliable way. Wercker empowers organizations and their development teams to achieve continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) goals with micro-services and Docker. This is brought to life through our container-centric and cloud-native automation platform comprised of our local command line interface (CLI), online SaaS platform and API.
With this in mind, I am excited to share that Oracle today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Wercker. Wercker’s Docker-based platform has a strong, rapidly growing user base as companies, large and small, transition to container-based workloads. Developers will now have access to a strong Docker-based portfolio as part of Oracle PaaS and IaaS. We are excited to join Oracle and bring even more value to our customers as part of Oracle’s cloud computing platform.
“Oracle already offers differentiated, enterprise-class IaaS and PaaS for companies building and running Internet applications and cloud services,” said Mark Cavage, Vice President, Product Development, Oracle. “Wercker greatly enhances the Oracle portfolio with a compelling Docker-based automation product and will accelerate the productivity of developers, across the entire spectrum, from the enterprise to the open source community.”
