appCD, the generative infrastructure from code company, today announced the close of its $12.3M seed round, its new identity as StackGen, and the appointment of Arshad Sayyad as Chief Business Officer. The round was led by Thomvest Ventures, with existing investors, FireBolt Ventures, WestWave Capital, and Secure Octane participating. StackGen will utilize the funding to accelerate product development, enhance its go-to-market strategy, and fuel company growth.

Founded in 2023 by serial entrepreneurs Sachin Aggarwal and Asif Awan, StackGen (formerly appCD) automatically generates Infrastructure from Code (IfC) based on application code with golden standards applied. Unlike manual Infrastructure as Code (IaC) creation or "golden templates" that quickly become outdated, StackGen generates IaC automatically from the application code, without requiring any code changes, and applies preset standards. StackGen provides seamless, full-stack infrastructure solutions that enhance the developer experience and enforce industry standards. Built for platform engineers and DevOps teams tasked with improving the developer experience and enforcing standards, StackGen reduces software development lifecycle (SDLC) bottlenecks, minimizes liabilities, and eliminates cognitive overload.
