SUNNYVALE, California, Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- JFrog, the universal DevOps technology leader, today announced its recognition as a "451 Firestarter," a prestigious award from leading  industry analyst firm 451 Research. The Firestarter awards recognize exceptional innovation within the IT industry.

"451 Research built its reputation on helping clients understand innovation in the technology industry, and the 451 Firestarters program is a further demonstration of this," said Jay Lyman, Principal Analyst at 451 Research. "We're excited to recognize JFrog with a 451 Firestarter Award due to their unique position in the DevOps marketplace, driving 'invisible infrastructure' across the industry. Their solutions are a vital part of faster, more efficient application development and release process, particularly for distributed teams and divisions. JFrog is serving both on-premises and cloud users, which bodes well for continued growth of enterprise customers."

"This has been an extraordinary year for JFrog and we are honored to be an industry 451 Firestarter, recognized by the 451 Research team, alongside other distinguished companies," said Yoav Landman, CTO of JFrog.
