Startup Ariga Raises $18M To Better Organize App Databases

An Israeli startup that organizes the tables and indexes in databases has raised $18 million from venture capital and angel investors.

Ariga uses coding to automate the management of a database schema – the “skeleton” of the database that defines how the data itself is organized. 

Even though applications are evolving and becoming automated, database schema management largely is not as a lack of careful planning can result in data loss and application downtime.

“Making database changes part of the DevOps [combination of software development and operations] flow was a revolution for application development,” said Ariel Mashraki, Ariga co-founder and CEO.

“But we’ve come a long way in the last 10 years, and database schema management needs to catch up; manual planning and verification does not cut it anymore.”

The capital was raised by Tiger Global and TLV Partners, alongside notable angel investors, or individuals who invest their own money into small businesses.

Rona Segev, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at TLV Partners, said: “Ariga empowers businesses through integrated database management solutions that span the entire product lifecycle.

“We believe their deep expertise and open-source solution will revolutionize the way companies manage their database schemas, allowing them to respond quickly to customer demands and market changes while maintaining high quality and stable products.”

Ariga was founded in 2021, and is based in Tel Aviv.
