Doprax

A secure and simple cloud platform that streamlines software deployment.

We automate cloud operations, reducing the steps between an idea and a running software stack.


2018: The Beginning

We started working on the problem

In late 2018, we embarked on a journey to address the challenges developers face in building and deploying websites and web applicationss. Doprax is developer-centric and works to empower developers to be able to develop, deploy and scale their websites and apps easily and focus on creating innovative products and services without deployment hassle.

Our mission was clear: make the entire development and deployment fun and it must remain fun.

2020

Established the company and released the beta version

Early in 2020, Doprax was formally incorporated in Denmark in early 2020. We spent a significant amount of time throughout the pandemic coding our platform, inspired by a commitment to improve developers’ cloud experiences

May 2021

Release of Version 1

On May 3, 2021, we released Version 1 of Doprax. This was the beginning of a new chapter, as we started onboarding users from around the globe and building a vibrant community of developers.

September 2021

Joining the Beyond Beta Accelerator

In September 2021, Doprax was accepted into the Beyond Beta Startup Accelerator.

The Beyond Beta accelerator is a collaboration between Accelerace, the Danish Business Hubs, and the Danish Design Center, a collaboration that combine their experience of working with over 1000 startups to build the next evolutionary step of European accelerators.

2022

Release of Versions 2 and 3

In 2022, we achieved significant milestones with the release of Versions 2 and 3. Version 2, released in early 2022, introduced advanced scalability and security features, making it easier for developers to manage larger and more complex projects.

Version 3, released later that year, brought an intuitive user interface and enhanced integration options. These updates marked transformative improvements, reinforcing our commitment to providing a seamless and productive experience for developers.


2023

Expansion of the Team

As Doprax’s user base and platform capabilities grew, so did our team. In 2023, we expanded to include world-class engineers, product managers, and customer support specialists. This growth enabled us to accelerate product development, improve user support, and foster a culture of innovation.

Our expanded team was instrumental in driving Doprax towards its next phase of growth and ensuring that our users always had the best possible support and resources at their disposal.

Introduction of App Spaces

A key innovation in 2023 was the introduction of “App Spaces” on our platform. This feature marked a significant evolution in how developers could manage and structure their projects. App Spaces allowed for more efficient organization of applications, APIs, and services, providing a more modular and flexible environment for development.

This not only streamlined the development process, but also enhanced collaboration within teams, making it easier to share and iterate on projects in a secure and controlled manner.

Launch of the Virtual Machines Platform

Late 2023 was a landmark period for Doprax as we unveiled our Virtual Machines (VM) platform. This addition marked our foray into a new domain of cloud computing, offering developers enhanced control and customization options for their hosting environments.

With the VM platform, users could now tailor their infrastructure to their specific needs, optimizing for performance, reliability, or cost. This launch was a testament to our commitment to continuous innovation and addressing the evolving needs of the developer community.

2024

Introduction of new apps in the app market

The journey continues as we work to push the boundaries of cloud technology and support developers in creating innovative solutions. In 2024, we added new apps to the App Market of our platform, offering developers a wider range of tools and integrations to enhance their projects.

New providers and location

We also expanded our Virtual Machine offerings by incorporating new providers and locations, giving users more options for their hosting environments. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and features as we continue to evolve and innovate.

Expanding the App Market to Virtual Machines

In 2024, we extended the concept of our app market to include Virtual Machines (VMs), allowing users to run various applications directly on a VM. This expansion offers more flexibility and control over the hosting environment, with applications for VPN administration, developer tools, file sharing, and team communication.

  • VPN Management: We’ve included many VPN management apps, including x-ui panel and 3x-ui panel for V2Ray, OpenVPN UI for safe VPN connections, Outline VPN Server for simplified VPN configurations, and Hiddify VPN Manager for improved privacy and security.
  • Developer Tools: We’ve incorporated GitLab, a platform for version control and continuous integration/delivery that allows for efficient project management and collaboration.
  • Team Collaboration: Rocket.Chat is now available for team communication, providing a complete team chat solution for group messages video calls, and much more.
  • File Sharing: Nextcloud has been integrated for secure file sharing and collaboration with functionality similar to Office 365 or Google Drive.
