While the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, this acquisition marks a significant milestone not just for Flusk and Bubble, but for the entire no-code community. We’re eager to share what this means for our users and the future of no-code development.

Why Is Bubble Acquiring Flusk?

Bubble’s acquisition of Flusk is a strategic move to enhance security for its users. Over the past two years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to providing advanced security and monitoring tools specifically designed for Bubble apps. By integrating our knowledge and experience directly into Bubble, we can make our tools more reliable and accessible for both Bubble and Flusk users.


Emmanuel Straschnov, CEO and Co-founder of Bubble, expressed his enthusiasm during his keynote:

Bubble has built a fantastic product… It’s a product built on Bubble that perfectly aligns with our vision of ensuring every app built on Bubble should not only be functional and user-friendly but also secure.

This synergy allows us to combine our efforts to make Bubble apps not only powerful but also robust and secure out of the box.

Future of Flusk

Bubble plans to continue growing Flusk, integrating our tools more closely into the Bubble platform. For now, Flusk will remain its own entity, ensuring continuity for our existing users. You can expect some pricing updates in the upcoming months as we align our services more closely with Bubble’s offerings.

For our current customers, nothing changes and you can continue using Flusk as you always have. In fact, with Bubble’s support, you can look forward to better reliability and enhanced support services. Our commitment to providing top-notch security tools remains stronger than ever.

Flusk offers a suite of powerful security and monitoring features:

Security Audits and Monitoring: Automated security checks across over 20 critical checkpoints, including data leaks and API workflow protection. Receive instant reports upon each deployment.

Error and Bug Monitoring: Real-time error and bug tracking through a unified dashboard, making it easy to keep your app running smoothly without disruptions.

Visual Log Exploration: A user-friendly interface for exploring and inspecting logs, simplifying the debugging process.

Penetration Testing: Access to advanced manual security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities beyond automated checks.

As Emmanuel highlighted in his keynote:

In essence, Flusk is a powerful security monitoring tool that brings enterprise-grade protection to every Bubble app… This means you as a user can have very fast feedback on what you’re building and identify and address vulnerabilities very quickly.

What It Means for No-Code and the Bubble Ecosystem

This acquisition is more than just a business deal; it’s a monumental step forward for the no-code movement. Being the first acquisition within the Bubble ecosystem, it signifies the maturation and growth of no-code development as a viable and significant sector in technology.

By integrating Flusk’s advanced security features into Bubble, we’re setting a new standard for what can be achieved without traditional coding. This move enhances the credibility and robustness of no-code solutions, encouraging more entrepreneurs and enterprises to adopt no-code platforms with confidence.

Emmanuel stated:

By bringing Flusk’s innovative security features inside Bubble, we’re making no-code more scalable, robust, and trustworthy. This acquisition opens a new chapter for us as a company and as an ecosystem.

We believe this partnership will inspire other developers and companies within the no-code space to push the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Bubble community, and we’re honored to contribute to this transformative journey.

Final Thoughts

We’re incredibly grateful for the trust and support of our users and the Bubble community. As Victor Nihoul mentioned during the keynote:

Thank you, Emmanuel, and thank you, Josh, for your trust. We’re really excited to bring Flusk to the next level. Obviously, I think this acquisition is going to definitely make the Bubble ecosystem much more secure. So thank you all.

And as Wesley added:

Also, thank you so much to all of you and to the community, because without you [the community] trusting us and using Flusk to make your app secure, this wouldn’t happen today. So thank you so much.

We’re excited about the road ahead and can’t wait to bring you even more powerful tools to build secure, scalable, and reliable applications. Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback.
