Ditto Platform Receives $45 Million Investment

Many applications today assume that data lives in only one location, often in a single cloud database. But the reality is reportedly more complex. Thanks to the proliferation of mobile devices and cloud infrastructure that has accelerated during the pandemic, apps now need to store and process data in more places, from the edge to the public cloud. Ditto Platform has raised $45 million to help companies keep their data in sync.

That's what led Adam Fish and Max Alexander to found Ditto, which emerged from stealth today with $45 million in Series A funding led by Acrew Capital with participation from U.S. Innovative Technology Fund (USIT), True Ventures and Amity Ventures. According to Fish and Alexander, Ditto provides a distributed database that works "almost anywhere," enabling data distribution even in areas with limited or poor internet connectivity.

Ditto Platform

Ditto provides a database that works at the edge, on edge devices and in the cloud. And it allows developers to store and synchronize data peer-to-peer across mobile and edge devices. Developers can use it to subscribe to the data they need or want to see. Ditto works across Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi and local wired networks to automatically find and connect to other devices and then synchronize data.

Ditto offers different versions of the cloud database, from tenant in a shared environment to private environments managed in the customer's own cloud account. Developers can choose to use the platform's APIs, query-based synchronization or both, depending on their requirements. Fish says Ditto's focus over the next few months will be on expanding its software development kit and further commercializing its technology. He also says the focus will be on gaining customers in sectors such as travel, education and retail.
