DevToolsDigest: Issue #23

We’ve got some fresh links and announcements from PagerDuty, Keen, LaunchDarkly and Stripe in this week’s Dev Tools Digest.

Showcasing Excellence

PagerDuty announces its Operational Excellence Awards for ITOps and DevOps teams. They are currently taking submissions (deadline is August 5), and winners will be honored at the PagerDuty Summit on September 13. Included with the recognition are team prizes, as well as a blog post, press release and social media mentions by the folks at PagerDuty.

Funding for Keen

Keen IO has secured $14.7 million in Series B financing, led by Pelion Venture Partners, to bring the company’s raised capital to a total of $30 million. In a press release posted to the Keen blog, CEO Kyle Wild says, “Our original vision of making the world’s best data science tools available to all developers is continuing to bear fruit. We now see our platform taking hold as an ‘Intelligence API.'”

Seeing and Doing More

LaunchDarkly launches an event stream API that allows users to access their raw analytics data, including feature flag requests and custom events, in real time. For now, the event stream API is only available to enterprise plan customers.

Stripe has added reusable UI components to its iOS SDK that allow both Apple Pay and regular credit card payments through a single integration. According to a recent post, the UI library will automatically detect and store both Apple Pay and credit cards for future use.
