Bitnami is a library of popular server applications and development environments that can be installed with one click, either in your laptop, in a virtual machine or hosted in the cloud. They take care of compiling and configuring the applications and all of their dependencies (third-party libraries, language runtimes, databases) so they work out-of-the-box. The resulting packaged software (a 'stack') is then made available as native installers, virtual machines and cloud images. These Bitnami application packages provide a consistent, secure and optimized end-user experience when deploying any app, on any platform. Bitnami-packaged applications are deployed over a million times per month and Bitnami drove over 235 million hours of compute usage in 2015. Bitnami is the leading supplier of applications to the major cloud marketplaces: Amazon, Google, Oracle, Microsoft and VMware, among others.
