JFrog the DevOps based artifact management platform has announced a $165 million Series D funding, yesterday. This funding round was led by Insight Venture Partners.

JFrog transforms the way software is updated by offering an end-to-end, universal, highly-available software release platform. This platform is used for storing, securing, monitoring and distributing binaries for all technologies, including Docker, Go, Helm, Maven, npm, Nuget, PyPi, and more. As of now, according to the company, more than 5 million developers use JFrog Artifactory as their system of record when they build and release software.

It also supports multiple deployment options, with its products available in a hybrid model, on-premise, and across major cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

The announcement comes on the heels of Microsoft’s $7.5 billion purchase of coding-collaboration site GitHub earlier this year.

It continues to add 100 new commercial logos per month and supports the world’s open source communities with its Bintray binary hub. Bintray powers 700K community projects distributing over 5.5M unique software releases that generate over 3 billion downloads a month.
