Caparra: AI-powered DevOps
For any software developer or software company, using DevOps principles and tools makes your code more reliable, more secure, easier to track, and much faster to adapt and improve. Until now, getting started with DevOps has meant a steep learning curve, leaving these tools in the category of “important but less urgent” work that doesn’t get done.
Caparra is building AI-powered tools that give you DevOps superpowers. No matter your background or expertise, if you work with code, Caparra can help you. Together, we can fix bugs in your code, improve how your software builds and deploys, scale your application, and more.

Where does the name Caparra come from?
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans built a majestic four-sided arch at Caparra, a small trading post in Spain. Despite the remote location, the Romans used best practices such as building on a sturdy foundation and using the best stone available. When our co-founder Peter was walking across Spain in 2023 he came across the Arch of Caparra, still standing tall.
Applying DevOps tools and techniques creates similar results: resilient code that stands the test of time. Our team is inspired by the Arch of Caparra, and our goal is to help you create similar enduring value in your work.
