JetBrains is becoming more and more mature

So how did JetBrains get to where it is today step by step?

In February 2000, three Russian Geeks who wrote code: Sergey Dmitriev, Valentin Kipyatkov and Eugene Belyaev founded the predecessor of JetBrains. When the Internet bubble burst in 2000, many young technology companies collapsed, and investors stopped investing significantly at this time. They have never taken any external funds, but bucked the trend and entered the development ecosystem . They founded JetBrains in Prague, Czech Republic, and blazed their own path.

In 2001, JetBrains’ first product IntelliJ IDEA was officially born. IntelliJ IDEA is an integrated development environment developed based on Java. Just like word workers need to use Word, IntelliJ IDEA can also greatly facilitate the work of programmers. After IntelliJ was first released, it quickly became popular and was later voted the best Java-based programming tool , excluding mature tools such as NetBeans, Eclipse and JDeveloper.

However, more than 20 years have passed, JetBrains is now becoming more and more prosperous, has the trust of 12.8 million developers, and 92 of the world's top 100 companies in " Fortune " are their loyal users . JetBrains creates tools that are critical to both software developers and software development teams. Last year, JetBrains added four new products to its product portfolio. There are now a total of 34 JetBrains tools and 7000+ Marketplace plug-ins for . The team size has expanded by 30%, and there are currently 1900+ team members distributed around the world.

believes that JetBrains will bring more surprises to developers in the future, let us wait and see.
