'''StackEngine''' was founded in Austin, Texas in 2014 to build enterprise-grade container management and [[automation]] products to help organizations simply deploy, manage, and scale resilient applications. It was designed as a [[Docker (software)|Docker]] management software product to provide an integrated [[DevOps]] solution for end-to-end container application delivery and operations. StackEngine was acquired by [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]] in December 2015.
== History ==
StackEngine was founded in May 2014 by Eric Anderson, Robert Gordon, and Bob Quillin.<ref>http{{cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2014/10/01/stackengine-a-startup-with-docker-monitoring-tech-launches-with-1m/|title=StackEngine, a startup with Docker monitoring tech, launches with $1M|publisher=}}</ref> As an early mover in the [[Docker_Docker (software)|Docker]] management marketplace, StackEngine built enterprise-grade container management and [[automation]] products that helped organizations simply deploy, manage, and scale resilient applications. Silverton Partners and Live Oak Venture Partners both led the StackEngine [[seed investment]] and [[Series A]] rounds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141001005371/en/StackEngine-Launches-Stealth-Manage-Automate-Docker-Raises|title=StackEngine Launches out of Stealth to Manage & Automate Docker, Raises $1M - Business Wire|publisher=}}</ref> The company launched out of stealth October 2014 to focus on products to address Docker operations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2014/10/01/stackengine-emerges-from-stealth-to-add-operational-layer-for-docker/|title=StackEngine Emerges From Stealth, Adds Operational Layer To Docker|first=Ron|last=Miller|publisher=}}</ref>
== Product ==
The StackEngine model-based Docker management software provided an integrated [[DevOps]] solution for end-to-end container application delivery and operation, all with an integrated [[GUI]] dashboard, [[service discovery]], scheduling, and orchestration functions. StackEngine could be deployed into any on-premisepremises, hybrid, public, or private cloud environments and scaled across thousands of hosts enabling users to start in the lab and scale out to full production.
StackEngine launched the Container Application Center in June 2016 to eliminate the Docker operations bottleneck by helping ops teams (1) bootstrap Docker into production; (2) discover, visualize, and orchestrate small to large scale Docker deployments; and (3) intelligently automate change and configuration management for containers.
