History
cloudControl was founded in January 2009 by Philipp Strube, Tobias Wilken and Thomas Ruland in Bonn, Germany. The company moved to the Berlin, Germany area in early 2010 after getting business angel investor funding. Production support for the PHP programming language was announced in October 2010. The company raised venture capital funding August 2011. As a result of this, support for Java, Python and Ruby programming languages started in October 2012.
In August 2014 it acquired the dotCloud brand from American company Docker, Inc.[1] cloudControl went bankrupt in February 2016.[2][3] The dotCloud service was shut down the same time.[4]
