Chennai: San Francisco-based AI-native video infrastructure platform, VideoDB, has announced the acquisition of Devzery, a Chennai-based developer tooling startup specializing in AI-powered regression testing workflows. The acquisition marks VideoDB’s strategic expansion into enhancing developer experience and product reliability, as it scales across video-heavy AI use cases such as surveillance, model training, and real-time media editing.
Founded in 2021, Devzery began with a clear insight: fast-moving engineering teams shouldn’t have to write or maintain test code. Its AI agent for API regression testing integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated, codeless testing. Over the past year, the platform has been adopted by organizations including Cimpress, Shopflo, and Zeda.io, and had raised $125K in funding from Upekkha to accelerate its growth and product development.
Commenting on the acquisition, Hemnaa Subburaj, Co-founder of Devzery, said, “We didn’t build Devzery to get acquired. We built it because backend testing is broken for fast-moving product teams.”
She further added, “Devzery’s core focus on codeless, AI-driven regression testing pairs naturally with VideoDB’s mission to make video programmable and searchable in real time. As one team, we are now positioned to build something developers haven’t seen before: reliable, intelligent tooling across video and backend infrastructure. Joining VideoDB means we get to bring that simplicity to an entirely new domain, programmable video infra.”
Launched in 2023, VideoDB is building the video-as-data stack for the agentic web — where video becomes programmable, searchable, and fully integrated with machine learning. The platform enables teams to query live streams, automatically tag footage, and build complete products atop scalable video pipelines. With Devzery’s integration, VideoDB plans to offer developers a more robust, enterprise-grade infrastructure for video-based product development.
Ashutosh Trivedi, Co-founder of VideoDB, said, “We think of VideoDB as the video layer of AWS – abstracted, reliable, developer-first, Devzery shares that same DNA. This is more than an acquisition for us. It’s about doubling down on developer-first infrastructure and setting a new standard for how teams work with video and APIs at scale. Their testing engine makes our stack more robust and gives our customers the confidence to ship faster, support enterprise-grade use cases, and bring new categories of automation to the VideoDB ecosystem.”
Backed by early-stage angels and operators in developer infrastructure and AI tooling, VideoDB’s acquisition of Devzery marks its first strategic M&A move. As part of the transition, Devzery’s founders will join the VideoDB team, while its product line will continue to operate independently — supported by VideoDB’s global network and resources to accelerate expansion into the U.S. market.
