Backplane Closes $5 Million

Enterprise information technology startup Backplane announced the completion of $5 million in seed financing led by Baseline Ventures. Harrison Metal Capital also participated in the round.

With features like label-based service discovery and cloud agnostic routing and shaping, Backplane allows teams to have granular control over their processes and applications without the added overhead of manually managing configurations instance-by-instance. Backplane also encourages collaboration to solve cross-team Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) traffic issues and improve collaboration by reducing barriers that in the past would have blocked operators from working together on shaping, routing, and connecting traffic to services.

Backplane will use the funding for further investment in sales, marketing, and product development.
