Andrew Norris reposted thisAndrew Norris reposted thisWe’ve joined Dynatrace! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce that DevCycle has been acquired by Dynatrace! For the past 13 years, our team in Toronto has been driven by a simple premise: developers need to be able to move fast without breaking things. Today, we take a giant leap toward a future where feature delivery is not just faster, but radically safer and smarter. Why Dynatrace? It comes down to a shared DNA. We aren’t just joining a global leader; we are joining a partner that helped lead the OpenFeature movement alongside us. By unifying DevCycle’s runtime control with Dynatrace’s AI-powered observability, we are moving from simple visibility to true action. Together, we are closing the loop between change and outcome, enabling teams to automate remediation and confidently embrace the era of AI-native applications. To our customers and community: The DevCycle you know and love isn’t going anywhere. We are staying put, but now we have the resources to build the best Feature Management tool on the market—deeply integrated with the best Observability tool on the market. Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

Andrew Norris reposted thisAndrew Norris reposted thisThis week’s walk to the “office” was different. I exchanged the streets of Vienna to those of Toronto. This walk was also the next step in a journey that started in 2022. Back then we decided with industry leaders that feature management needed to evolve from proprietary SDKs to an industry wide standard removing vendor dependency and supporting telemetry out-of-the box. This lead to the creation of the OpenFeature project which has become one of the fastest growing CNCF project. Almost immediately companies and individuals joined the project and OpenFeature has been used by companies like eBay, Spotify and many more. These companies are also actively contributing back to the project. OpenFeature also enabled startups to build their businesses on top it. DevCycle was and is at the forefront of these companies. … and this week the DevCycle team joined Dynatrace to build the future of progressive delivery together. Together with the talented team at DevCycle we will tackling interesting and challenging problems like: · How can feature management make AI-assisted coding safe and ensure high quality of the output · How can feature management help take the right decisions for AI-native applications when it comes to model selection, prompt tuning and delivering quality output · How can feature management by used in AI-assisted operations to drive fast and predictable autonomous operations. In a time where Opensource is continuously questioned as being sustainable, I am proud of having been part of the OpenFeature journey building software, a community and business opportunies sustainably and openly.

Andrew Norris reposted thisAndrew Norris reposted this✅ The era of smashing the big green deploy button and praying is over. When AI writes code, you don’t launch it wide. You wrap it in a feature flag. Ship to prod. Turn it on for 3 people. Watch it breathe. Then roll it out. This is how AI code survives production. 🏕️ https://lnkd.in/da5eDB8W #FeatureFlags #SoftwareEng #EngManager by Mark Allen

Andrew Norris liked thisAndrew Norris liked thisIt's a big day for us at Zocks. We're very excited to announce our $45M in Series B funding, co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and QED Investors. It's only been 10 months since our Series A. At the time, Ákos Ratku, the team, and I knew we were building something different: a system, powered by agentic AI, that would change how advisors, and their firms work. Since then, it's been a big year. We went from helping advisors save time on admin work to now helping them uncover opportunities proactively across their entire book of business. We also grew from 1,000 customers to over 5,000 in one year. We opened new offices, and have been supported by many amazing customers like RFG Advisory Group, Carson Group, Kestra Financial, Osaic, Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., Ameritas, CreativeOne and many many others (you'll hear about soon). We're really excited about what we're building and where we're investing. We want advisors to LOVE their jobs and grow their business even quicker. You’ll see more capabilities as we expand our AI agents that are woven throughout Zocks as we become a system of work that’s also a system of insight for advisors, deeply embedded across all the tools they use every day. Looking forward to sharing so much more throughout 2026. This is just the beginning! I can't list all of the great investors that have helped us, but a huge thank you to Illuminate Financial, Motive Ventures Partners, 14Peaks Capital Capital , Expanse Venture Partners , Entrée Capital, and Ascend! Full announcement below (thanks to Shannon Spotswood RFG Advisory for the kind words ). https://lnkd.in/g-fAkkgQ
