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.

In November of 2025, we opened our first international branch in Iceland to better work with our growing international client base around the world.
Why Iceland? Well, besides being a breathtaking country, it is the optimal spot to work both with our North American and European clients.

This release moves the V1 load balancer into the default load balancer position. After 18 months of performance and optimizations it is time for the V1 load balancer to take its rightful place as the default for every new environment moving forward. Users will still be able to opt into the HAProxy load balancer if they wish. On top of this, we've also made some major optimizations around how the V1 load balancer handles domain lookups. This will be very apparent for users with environments that have dozens or hundreds of containers.
