San Francisco-based VideoDB, an AI-native video infrastructure platform, has acquired Chennai-based Devzery, a startup focused on AI-powered developer tools for regression testing. This strategic move aims to bolster VideoDB's commitment to improving developer experience and product reliability, especially as it scales its operations for video-intensive AI use cases like surveillance, model training, and real-time media editing.
Founded in 2021, Devzery develops AI solutions to streamline and accelerate the generation and management of API test cases, making software testing faster and more efficient. The company had previously secured $125,000 in funding from Upekkha to support its growth. Hemnaa Subburaj, Co-founder of Devzery, stated that the company was built because backend testing was inadequate for fast-moving teams, and Devzery's codeless, AI-driven regression testing aligns well with VideoDB's mission.
VideoDB, launched in 2023, is building a 'video-as-data stack' that makes video programmable, searchable, and ML-integrated. Ashutosh Trivedi, Co-founder of VideoDB, believes Devzery shares their 'developer-first DNA' and that the integration will make their platform more robust, enabling customers to ship faster and support enterprise-grade use cases.
Impact: This integration is expected to provide developers with a more robust and enterprise-ready infrastructure for creating video-based products. It will indirectly benefit users of VideoDB's video infrastructure by enhancing the quality and stability of the underlying tools. Rating: 6/10
Difficult Terms: AI-native: A company or product built from the ground up with artificial intelligence at its core, rather than adding AI features later. Developer tooling: Software and services that help software developers write, test, debug, and deploy code more efficiently. AI-powered regression testing: Using artificial intelligence to automate and improve the process of re-testing software after changes have been made, to ensure that new code hasn't broken existing functionality. Video-as-data stack: A system where video content is treated as a type of data that can be queried, analyzed, and manipulated using programming tools. Agentic web: A concept referring to a future internet where AI agents (autonomous software programs) play a significant role in performing tasks and interacting with users and services. API (Application Programming Interface): A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.
