San Francisco-headquartered AI-native video infrastructure platform VideoDB has announced the acquisition of Chennai-based Devzery, an AI-powered software testing startup that specialises in codeless regression testing workflows. The move marks VideoDB’s first strategic acquisition and reflects its growing commitment to enhancing developer experience and product reliability across AI-driven video use cases.
Founded in 2021, Devzery built a unique AI agent that automates API regression testing by integrating directly into CI/CD pipelines—eliminating the need for teams to write or maintain test code. The platform has already seen adoption by companies like Cimpress, Shopflo, and Zeda.io, and had earlier raised $125,000 in funding from Upekkha to accelerate growth.
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. Devzery’s focus on AI-driven, codeless regression testing fits naturally with VideoDB’s mission to make video programmable and searchable in real time. As one team, we can now deliver reliable, intelligent tooling across video and backend infrastructure.”
Founded in 2023, VideoDB is building a “video-as-data” stack that allows developers to treat video like programmable data—enabling querying of live streams, automated tagging, and the creation of AI-integrated video products. With Devzery’s integration, VideoDB aims to offer enterprise-grade, developer-first tooling for video-heavy applications across surveillance, model training, and real-time editing.
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 acquisition helps us strengthen our infrastructure and gives our customers greater confidence to ship faster and scale automation across video and APIs.”
VideoDB is supported by early-stage angels and operators in AI and developer infrastructure. As part of the deal, Devzery’s founders will join the VideoDB team, with its product continuing to operate under the VideoDB umbrella to expand its footprint in the U.S. market.
