Gomboc Recognized in Five 2025 Gartner® Hype Cycles

New York, NY  – June 30, 2025 – Gomboc AI, the pioneer in deterministic AI-powered cloud infrastructure remediation, is proud to announce its inclusion in five 2025 Gartner®  Hype Cycle™ reports: the Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering, 2025,Hype Cycle for Cloud Platform Services, 2025, Hype Cycle for AI in IT Operations, 2025, Hype Cycle for for I&O Automation, 2025 and the Hype Cycle for Operations and Automation in the Communications Industry, 2025

In the Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Gomboc is recognized under the AI Assistants for Infrastructure as Code category. This Hype Cycle profiles innovations that support the adoption of SRE practices to enhance system reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency across modern cloud-native environments.  In our view, Gomboc’s deterministic AI fits squarely within this trend—automatically applying policy-aligned fixes that reduce downtime, improve consistency, and empower engineers to build resilient infrastructure at scale.

In the Hype Cycle for Cloud Platform Services, Gomboc is recognized for the AI Assistants for Infrastructure as Code. As platform teams create golden paths to streamline infrastructure provisioning, Gomboc ensures those paths are paved with built-in compliance and automated remediation - seamlessly integrated into developer workflows.

In the Hype Cycle for AI in IT Operations, Gomboc is recognized once again under the AI Assistants for Infrastructure as Code category. In our opinion, while the category remains consistent, this hype cycle profiles the core technologies underpinning the transformative impact of AI within enterprise IT operations. Gomboc is recognized in the Interact and Assist domain, where  Gartner, notes: “AI assistants are helping IT operations end users better leverage the products that contain them and are also helping to develop IaC templates, scripts and workflows.”We believe Gomboc's deterministic, context-aware remediation aligns directly with this vision—delivering AI that doesn’t just analyze, but acts. 

Gartner classifies the benefit rating as “High”, and identifies the business impact as:

“AI-powered IaC assistants deliver value by accelerating infrastructure delivery and optimizing costs. They enable faster responses to demands through rapid provisioning and reduce infrastructure spending via automation. Improved reliability minimizes downtime, while enhanced security strengthens compliance and reduces risk. By boosting engineer productivity and bridging skills gaps, these tools empower teams to focus on innovation, ultimately accelerating time to market and strengthening competitive advantage.”

Gartner highlights the Drivers of AI Assistants for Infrastructure as Code:

“Accelerate IaC adoption: Many I&O teams lack the skills for IaC. AI assistants bridge this gap, making IaC accessible to more engineers. They help generate, explain, and learn code, leveraging existing scripts and deployments for suggestions and Corrections.”

Gartner also identified key obstacles where we believe Gomboc.ai provides a direct advantage over existing approaches:

“Contextual understanding: AI models need to grasp this context to generate useful and accurate IaC. They also need to understand the complex relationships between different infrastructure components.”

Gartner noted a User Recommendation where we believe Gomboc.ai shines is its “meet engineers where they are at” approach:

“Always involve engineers: While AI can generate IaC code quickly, enforce code reviews by experienced engineers before deployments. This will ensure any mistakes or potential risks are caught.”

Additionally, Gomboc was named in the Hype Cycle for Operations and Automation in the Communications Industry 2025, under the DevSecOps category. DevSecOps, classified as having a “Transformational” benefit rating, is now considered a mature, mainstream practice. According to Gartner: “DevSecOps is the integration and automation of security and compliance testing into agile IT and DevOps development pipelines, as seamlessly and transparently as possible, without reducing developers’ agility or speed or requiring them to leave their development toolchain.”  Gomboc’s deterministic, policy-driven remediation is purpose-built to meet this vision, removing friction between security and developers while embedding compliance directly into the CI/CD pipeline. As Gartner notes, “DevSecOps offers a way to effectively integrate security into the development process, in a way that eliminates or reduces friction between security and development.” We believe Gomboc delivers on this promise by enabling secure automation that doesn’t compromise speed or agility.

Beyond the Hype

In our opinion, being named across four Hype Cycles signals that Gomboc is uniquely positioned at the intersection of platform engineering, resilient operations, and security automation. We believe this recognition reflects a growing market need for tools that enhance velocity and compliance without introducing risk.Gomboc’s deterministic AI approach ensures that every fix is:

• Predictable – No surprises or hallucinations.
  
  
• Policy-Driven – Aligned with CIS, NIST, and custom compliance frameworks.
  
  
• Explainable – Built on trusted documentation and logic-based enforcement.
  

“To us, our multiple recognitions by Gartner reinforces what we’ve believed all along,” said Iftach Ian Amit, CEO and Co-Founder of Gomboc AI. “Security and engineering should no longer be siloed. By embedding automated, policy-enforced remediation directly into the development lifecycle, we help organizations scale infrastructure safely and with confidence. We’re proud of the trust we’ve earned from forward-thinking engineering teams who rely on Gomboc to deliver accurate, fully contextual, and deterministic fixes every day.” 

Connecting the Dots

Where SRE emphasizes operational resilience and fast incident resolution, platform engineering focuses on self-service and repeatable developer workflows,and DevSecOps embeds security into the pipeline. Gomboc AI closes the loop between them all: Gomboc AI closes the loop between both: it gives platform teams the tooling to build guardrails into their infrastructure, while enabling SRE and security leaders to enforce compliance and reduce drift without blocking releases.

Gomboc published a series of blog posts that provide our own expert analysis of the impact of each report on the industry. The series is available here: SRE, Cloud Platform Services, AI in IO Operations, Operations & Automation in the Communications industry.
