It's 2022 and time to predict a few things for the coming year in the cloud native ecosystem.

Welcome to the very first Civo Update of 2022! On behalf of everyone here at Civo we wish you happiness and prosperity for the year ahead. With lots on our roadmap for 2022, it's certainly going to be another exciting year for us at Civo. We recently launched our "Write for Civo" initiative where you can share your cloud native expertise and get paid for doing so. Check out the tutorial for more information.

Last month saw the first ever Civo Hackathon take place and we saw individuals and teams from across the globe submit some really exciting, innovative projects. We've also launched a new Partner Program designed to help your fledgling business grow and scale with ease. Continue reading to find out more.

In case you missed the big news, after almost two years in beta and early access phases, Civo is now general availability! Find out what this means for Civo and the future of the platform over at our blog. We've also launched the first-ever Civo Hackathon! This is an initiative to bring together developers, architects, experts, and students from across the globe to develop innovative Kubernetes projects on Civo.

KubeCon/CloudNativeCon North America 2021 was a whirlwind of sessions, talks, panels, bonding, and learning. As it was a hybrid event, Civo was represented both in person at a booth that featured Sophia and David from our North American team, as well as virtually through our online booth and talks. Plus, we made an announcement of the General Availability of Civo Kubernetes at the event!

Observability has gained a lot of momentum and is now rightly a central component of the microservices landscape: It’s an important part of the cloud native world where you may have many microservices deployed on a production Kubernetes cluster, and a need to monitor these microservices keeps rising. In production, quickly finding failures and fixing them is crucial. As the name suggests, observability plays an important role in this failure discovery.

After nearly 2 years of perfecting our product during our beta phase and just over 5 months since we opened for early access, I have great pleasure in announcing that Civo is now 'General Availability'. It's taken us over 4 years to get to where we are today, with a colossal amount of work being contributed by our team to build the Civo platform and developer eco-system. I can honestly say that we're lucky to have so many amazing people at Civo.

Welcome to the Civo update for September 2021. In case you missed the big news... this week we successfully launched our first region in Frankfurt, Germany. Plus we announced our new strategic partner, THG Ingenuity, who invested $2 million into the company. This will allow us to quickly invest in our infrastructure, including more regions across the globe throughout the next 12 months.

We’re happy to announce that our new mainland Europe datacenter region in Frankfurt, Germany is now live and ready for use by all Civo customers. This will sit alongside our existing New York City and London regions, with a location in India planned by the end of this year, and more in 2022.
