We're a passionate team of builders, doers, and strategists on a mission to simplify the way organizations approach DevOps, infrastructure, and process automation.
In 2015, Cycle was born in Toledo, Ohio, fueled by a mission to revolutionize the way businesses develop applications and think about DevOps. As we grew, we relocated to Reno, Nevada in early 2017, where the core of our team continues to thrive today. After years of development, research, and testing, we started onboarding real customers in mid 2019, and our commitment to building a powerful and innovative platform has never been stronger.
Our journey has been marked by the bold decision to build Cycle from scratch -- without taking on traditional venture capital. This choice gave us total control over our future and allowed us to shape the platform in line with our vision, without the constraints imposed by other existing solutions.
We're all about creating a sustainable and authentic business. We prioritize steady, consistent growth over unpredictable, short-lived success. We believe in long-term achievements and nurturing meaningful relationships with our customers.
Cycle's story is one of boldness, energy, and an unwavering commitment to reshaping the world of DevOps.

We’re excited to introduce Storage Area Network (SAN) support (beta), making it easier to store large amounts of data reliably for both containers and virtual machines. This update also brings more flexible IP pool options, much faster migration speeds (up to 80% quicker), and smarter deployment strategies for edge, distribution, and HA setups. On top of that, we’ve fixed issues with instance migration and public IP filtering to make your environments more stable and dependable.
