About Us

We started Engine Yard in early 2006 to meet a genuine need: customers were developing business-critical Rails applications, but they didn’t want to worry about application deployment, management and scaling. They wanted a smooth path from 100 users to 100,000 users and professional support and advice from Rails experts 24/7.

That’s what Engine Yard is all about.

We started out with all our customer applications on our own fully managed infrastructure. This year, we introduced Engine Yard Cloud, a Rails Application Cloud for web developers and web teams running on top of cloud computing infrastructure. It provides easy-to-use, automated Rails application deployment and management, with a design philosophy that allows easy migration of your existing applications.

Along the way, we’ve given back to the Rails community with several full time Ruby and Rails contributors and by providing early sponsorship for key community tools like GitHub, BeanStalk, New Relic and Lighthouse.

To date, we’ve raised $37.5 million of funding with participation from Amazon.com, New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA), and Benchmark Capital.

Where We Are

We’re headquartered in San Francisco, California, but have teams located across the United States and around the world.
