DevStreamLabs - September 2025 Update
September at DevStreamLabs — Big Conversations + Big Progress
👋 Hey Dev Stream Crew,
As summer winds down, momentum is building at Dev Stream Labs. We’ve reached exciting milestones, continued to grow as a team, and felt the energy of a community that’s rallying around what we’re building. It’s an incredible moment, and we’re grateful for the support that’s helping us move forward.
This month’s newsletter is full of ways to connect, learn, and get involved. Let’s dive in.
🚀 Big News: Pre-Seed Announcement
Big milestone alert! Thanks to the incredible support around our vision, we’ve completed our pre-seed round. In fact, it was oversubscribed, and we’re already looking at what comes next.
“We’re thrilled by the support we’ve received from investors who share our belief that developer experience needs a reboot. This funding allows us to continue scaling Build Buddy, expand our platform, and keep listening to the developer community as we build the future of DevOps.”
- Brent Pease, CEO of Dev Stream Labs.
This momentum extends to our team as well. We are happy to announce that Aaron has officially joined Dev Stream Labs full-time, continuing with us after his internship.
Your support, feedback, and belief in what we are building have made this possible, and we are excited to share more soon.
🎙️ Featured Podcast: DevOps, AI, and the Future
Two of our Founders, Brent Pease (CEO) , and Bruce Lam (CAIO), recently joined Jon Radoff for a deep dive into the future of DevOps, why developer experience matters more than ever, and how AI is changing the game for software teams.
In this conversation, we dig into:
Why DevOps is overdue for change — what’s broken in today’s workflows and where teams are getting stuck
How AI can transform delivery pipelines — practical ways automation slashes cycle times and reduces friction
The future Dev Stream Labs is building — our vision for tools that make life easier (and more productive) for developers
If you want a front-row seat to where DevOps is headed — straight from the people building the next generation of tools — you’ll want to listen to this.
⚙️ Build Buddy Beta: Faster Fixes, Smarter Insights
Since launching Build Buddy Beta, the response has been incredible. Developers are telling us it saves time and removes frustration from their workflow.
Joseph Rubin, Co-Founder and Product Lead at Salvay, had this to say after using Build Buddy:
“We especially appreciated the clean and intuitive UI of Build Buddy — everything was easy to navigate, and the formatting of the responses made the information clear and effortless to follow. It really helped streamline our experience and made the app a pleasure to use.”
Build Buddy makes troubleshooting simple. Just upload your Unity build log and you’ll instantly receive an AI-generated report that highlights errors, explains what went wrong, and suggests clear fixes. Early feedback has been consistent: Build Buddy takes the pain out of debugging and makes the process faster, easier, and far less frustrating. If you haven’t given it a try yet, now’s the perfect time.
