On 5/11/2021, CircleCI announces their acquisition of an Amsterdam-based CI/CD software company Vamp.io. The transaction amount is not disclosed.

Vamp’s products are add-on features for CI/CD pipelines. Some examples include “Release Observability” — metrics around release process, “Continuous Validation” — using business metric to inform pipeline action, with some AI/ML claims.

As part of the acquisition, the original team will start to “integrate Vamp into the CircleCI platform”. This could mean CircleCI will be adding similar add-on features such as intelligent pipeline action and more metrics into their platform.
