Codenvy

The Codenvy company was founded in 2013. It offered the first a cloud platform of development of a corporate class which is based on the popular on-line Eclipse Che development environment and the server of working spaces. Codenvy integrated execution environments, program projects and a development environment in uniform cloud tools. Participants of group can work with its help in one environment, without performing local installation and tuning of the matching program components. Environments of Codenvy are executed in the form of containers that provides fast start. Besides, they are flexibly scaled and support creation and execution of millions of working environments – for access to them enough only the browser.

On June 2, 2017 the Red Hat company, solution provider with the open code, announced agreement signature about purchase of Codenvy company, the supplier of online development tools of modern container and cloud applicaions. This acquisition will fill up the list of building tools and platforms of the Red Hat applications, such as Red Hat JBoss Middleware and Red Hat OpenShift, and will expand possibilities of developers on creating applications for hybrid cloud environments. Red Hat is also going to integrate the products Codenvy into recently announced solution SaaS of OpenShift.io intended for creation of hybrid cloud services on the OpenShift platform.

Still quite recently developers were forced to spend a considerable part of time not on writing of the code, and on preparation and setup of an environment. Besides, programmers often work at once on several projects where different programming languages are used. Now developers pass to technology of continuous delivery (DevOps) and container technologies to accelerate delivery of modern cloud applicaions. With respect thereto, all of them address Codenvy and other similar solutions helping to accelerate creation of complex applications and to help with solution of the problem of approval of environments more often.

Before Codenvy and Red Hat it was already succeeded to work over joint online solutions for application development. Last year Codenvy, Red Hat and Microsoft announced the joint project on integration of programming languages with source code editors and development environments. Together the companies aimed to increase flexibility and productivity of developers due to expansion of instrumental opportunities for work with the code in different programming languages. In 2016 Red Hat also became the participant of the open Eclipse Che project within which the company focused on improvement of environments of execution as a part of environments, support of formats of orchestration and configuration of environments and also on management of container images in the cycle "editing-assembly-testing" directly from development environments. Besides, the solutions Codenvy are built already in the platform of the container Red Hat OpenShift applications as the tool for simpler development, debugging and deployment of applications.

Now, when Codenvy technologies were a part of a solution portfolio of Red Hat for developers, the company is going to integrate Eclipse Che and Codenvy with other products and platforms. In particular, with solution SaaS of OpenShift.io – it includes Eclipse Che and provides the tools of development and an environment necessary for successful digital transformation of the enterprise. OpenShift.io helps local and geographically distributed development teams to increase efficiency of joint work during creation and deployment of the container solutions based on microservices in hybrid environments.

It is expected that acquisition of Codenvy will not have significant effect on indicators of Red Hat company according to the results of the I quarter and the 2018th tax year in general (come to an end for the company on May 31, 2017 and on February 28, 2018, respectively).
