AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–KUBECON AND CLOUDNATIVECON — iguazio, the leading data platform enabling continuous analytics and event driven-applications, today unveiled nuclio: its open source, ultra-fast, multi-cloud serverless platform.

nuclio functions are faster than bare-metal, processing up to 400,000 events per second with a single process, address a broad set of applications, are simpler to develop and can be deployed anywhere. Building modern applications with nuclio minimizes operational overhead and frees developers from lock-ins to cloud specific APIs or services.

iguazio’s data platform converges and simplifies data management. With nuclio, iguazio completes a full-blown cloud experience of data services, AI and serverless – all delivered in one integrated and self-managed offering, at the edge or in a hosted cloud.

“Customers tell us they want to bring the cloud experience to their data, not force fit all their workloads into the public cloud,” said SiliconANGLE Media CEO Dave Vellante. “In our opinion, iguazio’s data and serverless platforms are a leading example of just that; a set of on-prem services that enable modern application delivery with a true cloud experience close to data sources.”

nuclio’s top strengths include:

1. A real-time function OS delivering 30-100x faster performance and lower latency when compared to other public cloud or FaaS offerings (see benchmark)
2. Automated function deployment, scaling and operations
3. Support for a large variety of open or cloud-specific event and data sources
4. Works on low-power IoT devices, developer IDE, Docker, Kubernetes or cloud platforms
5. Supports an extensive set of debugging, logging, monitoring and out of the box CI/CD features

nuclio addresses common serverless development and operational challenges and can be used either as an open source FaaS project or as a managed service on iguazio’s platform. It accelerates data ingestion, data enrichment, analysis and AI so that developers can run faster real-time actions like for IoT sensor data or image classification, simplifying developer and operational usability.

“We’ve been working closely with customers and the cloud native community to identify and address limitations in market-leading serverless offerings,” said iguazio’s CTO, Yaron Haviv. “nuclio is open source with an open architecture to enable portability and eliminate cloud vendor lock-ins. This is a breakthrough in the serverless ecosystem and we call on the serverless community join us.”

iguazio is also announcing an online hackathon for nuclio, starting as of today and ending on January 10th, 2018. The developer who writes the winning function will receive a DJI Spark drone.

For the past 30 years, JVP has been instrumental in building some of Israel’s international category leaders, scaling them to North America, Europe and Asia, with significant ownership positions. JVP invests early, taking large positions on a low-cost basis, and then invests in the companies again, to maintain and increase its position, with leading third party international Funds.

A Defining Moment for Cybersecurity, for JVP, and for Israel/US Cooperation: CyberArk’s $25B Merger with Palo Alto Networks

Last week marked a moment of both pride and reflection for all of us at JVP. The announcement of CyberArk’s $25 billion acquisition by Palo Alto Networks is not just a landmark deal in the cybersecurity landscape—it’s a powerful validation of the JVP Way, our approach to company building that continues to define our firm today.

While we are no longer CyberArk shareholders, having exited our position a few years after its IPO, we were proud to have been CyberArk’s leading and largest shareholder from its early days to several years after it became a public company and its emergence as an international category leader. While I was Chairman of the company, we partnered closely with the founders during the most formative years of its journey. Back in 2011, when many investors were ready to sell the company for $120 million, JVP chose to reinvest and increased our position to 47%, buying out early shareholders, bringing in Goldman Sachs as an equity investment partner, and partnering with management to lay the foundation for a strong international expansion. That pivotal moment gave the company the opportunity to scale into a true global market leader.

CyberArk has always been ahead of the curve—pioneering insider threat protection, secrets management, machine-to-machine authentication, and most recently, preparing the world for secure Agentic-AI infrastructure. Its merger with Palo Alto Networks positions it to lead the AI era with a fully integrated, end-to-end security platform.

We invite you to revisit JVP’s unique role in CyberArk’s growth in this Forbes feature, Reuters press, and from CyberArk’s newsroom.

This milestone is a reminder that JVP’s tried and true approach – invest, reinvest, roll up our sleeves, and work diligently alongside founders and management teams to build category leading global companies – works. The JVP Way, developed over 30 years, is what enables JVP to build companies that lead and transform industries to the benefit of our investors.

Today, we continue to apply the same methodology to our current portfolio with company after company surpassing the $100 million revenue threshold, with JVP owning 40% or more, as they too become category-leading international businesses.
