JetBrains

JetBrains, initially called IntelliJ Software, was founded in 2000 in Prague by three Russian software developers: Sergey Dmitriev, Valentin Kipyatkov and Eugene Belyaev. The company's first product was IntelliJ Renamer, a tool for code refactoring in Java. In 2012 CEO Sergey Dmitriev was replaced by Oleg Stepanov and Maxim Shafirov. In 2021 The New York Times stated that unknown parties might have embedded malware in JetBrains' TeamCity CI/CD software that led to the SolarWinds hack and other widespread security compromises. The CEO of one of the affected companies, SolarWinds, "asked about the possibility that software tools made by JetBrains, which speeds the development and testing of code, was the pathway". In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the company suspended sales and R&D activities in Russia indefinitely, as well as sales in Belarus. JetBrains' Russian legal entity was liquidated on 21 February 2023. In September 2023, JetBrains acquired the company Code Buddy and its two main products, JPA Buddy and React Buddy. The tools were integrated into IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and the team joined JetBrains to continue their development. Effective 1 February 2024, Kirill Skrygan replaced Maxim Shafirov as CEO. Under the new model, all Ultimate features require a subscription to unlock, while the IDE remains fully functional and free for both commercial and non-commercial projects without a subscription, including more features than the Community Edition previously offered. == Financial performance ==

JetBrains has achieved significant financial growth without external funding. The company reported 5.6% revenue growth in 2023, following 11% growth in 2022. JetBrains is profitable with $200 million in EBITDA generated in 2020. The company has never raised external capital. == Products ==

IDEs Current The following is a non-exhaustive list of integrated development environments (IDEs) distributed by JetBrains. Former The JetBrains Marketplace offers 8,860 plugins that extend the functionality of JetBrains IDEs. ReSharper ReSharper is a Visual Studio extension for .NET developers, first released in 2004. It is JetBrains' longest-standing commercial product and, according to JetBrains, has accumulated over 2.5 million downloads, making it the most popular extension on the Visual Studio Marketplace. It was also a key revenue source for JetBrains in its early years. ReSharper provides on-the-fly code quality analysis for C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. Its features include code refactoring, code completion, navigation, find usages, and code formatting. The extension offers more than 2,200 on-the-fly code inspections and over 60 refactorings and 450 context actions. Starting with version 2026.1, ReSharper expanded beyond Visual Studio to support Visual Studio Code and compatible editors such as Cursor, bringing JetBrains' C# tooling to a broader range of development environments. The VS Code extension provides real-time code analysis, refactorings, and navigation for C#, XAML, Razor, and Blazor, and includes a Solution Explorer as well as built-in unit testing support for NUnit, xUnit.net, and MSTest. ReSharper's development influenced the creation of JetBrains' standalone .NET IDE, Rider; although plans for a dedicated ReSharper IDE were explored and later abandoned after the release of Visual Studio 2005, the work done on ReSharper ultimately formed the foundation for Rider. ReSharper is available as a standalone license or as part of the dotUltimate subscription, which also includes Rider, dotTrace, dotCover, and dotMemory. Programming languages Kotlin is an open-source, statically typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM). The name comes from the Kotlin Island, near St. Petersburg. In May 2017, Google announced first-class support for Kotlin on Android, and at Google I/O 2019, Google declared Kotlin its preferred language for Android app development. JetBrains MPS is an open-source language workbench for domain-specific languages. Ktor is a Kotlin-based programming framework for developing "connected applications", using the same framework on both server (JVM) and client (JavaScript, Android, and iOS). Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) is a JetBrains technology that allows developers to share Kotlin code across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, desktop, web, and server. It reached stable status with the release of Kotlin 1.9.20 in November 2023. The related Compose Multiplatform framework, which enables shared user interfaces, became stable for iOS in 2025. Team tools TeamCity is a continuous integration and continuous delivery server developed by JetBrains. It is a server-based web application written in Java. The New York Times reported that TeamCity may have been used by Russian hackers of US governmental and private agencies, in potentially "the biggest breach of United States networks in history". Upsource was a code review and repository browsing tool supporting Git, GitHub, Mercurial, Perforce and/or Subversion repositories from a central location. JetBrains released a new developer collaboration tool, Space, in 2019. It began sunsetting Upsource in 2022, officially ending support for the product in January 2023. In May 2024, JetBrains rebranded Space to SpaceCode to focus on Git hosting and code reviews. YouTrack is a proprietary, commercial web-based bug tracker, issue tracking system, and project management software developed by JetBrains. Qodana is a code quality analysis tool that uses static code analysis to help users with code reviews, building quality gates, and the implementation of code quality guidelines. It was publicly launched in July 2023 and can be used with IDEs in JetBrains's ecosystem, has CI/CD pipeline integration, while supporting code analysis in over 60 programming languages. AI tools JetBrains AI Assistant is offered in most JetBrains IDEs as a set of AI-assisted software development tools. The assistant uses models from OpenAI and Google, as well as proprietary models developed by JetBrains, such as the Mellum model released in April 2025. Junie is an AI coding agent developed by JetBrains, launched in January 2025 in closed preview. Unlike the AI Assistant, which focuses on code completion, Junie is designed to function as an AI agent for coding. In April 2025, JetBrains made Junie generally available. Others Datalore is a web application for data analysis and visualization, which is focused specifically on the machine learning environment in Python. JetBrains Academy is an online platform to learn programming, including such programming languages as Python, Java, and Kotlin. The Academy was introduced by JetBrains in 2019, and reached 200,000 users by July 2020. Certifications were added in November 2021 after community feedback prioritized verifiability of the work done on projects. JetBrains has also developed the EduTools plugin for students, which is compatible with IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate, Community, Educational), Android Studio, CLion, GoLand, PhpStorm, PyCharm (Professional, Community, Educational), WebStorm. It is built on the IntelliJ Platform and includes its sources. JetBrains released both under Apache License 2.0. In 2010, Android support became a part of the Community Edition, and two years later Google announced its Android Studio, the IDE for mobile development on Android platform built on the Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA and an official alternative to Eclipse Android Developer Tool. After two years of development JetBrains open-sourced Kotlin in February 2012. In June 2015, it was announced that the support of Eclipse ADT would be discontinued, making Android Studio the official tool for Android App development. In January 2020, JetBrains released a geometric monospaced font called JetBrains Mono, made the default font for its IDEs, under the Apache License 2.0. The font is designed for reading source code by being optimized for reading vertically with support for programming ligatures. == Financials and business model ==

As a private company, JetBrains does not disclose detailed financial statements. However, its annual highlight reports indicate consistent growth. In its 2023 highlights, the company reported a 5.6% year-over-year revenue growth and noted 11.4 million recurring active users. This followed an 11% revenue growth in 2022, when the company reported having 15.9 million users. The company's business model is primarily based on software subscriptions. In recent years, JetBrains has adjusted its model in response to market trends. This includes making more of its IDEs available with free, non-commercial licenses, such as for RustRover, and unifying its flagship IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, to offer a single download with both free and paid features. == Partnerships ==

JetBrains maintains partnerships with more than 140 resellers and numerous technology partners worldwide. According to partnership data, JetBrains has 49 partners, including 41 technology partners and 8 channel partners, with Salesforce as its largest partner. Google Cloud JetBrains has an active technology partnership with Google Cloud. In 2022, the companies partnered to deliver integration between Google Cloud Workstations and JetBrains remote development, allowing developers to use JetBrains IDEs with Google Cloud's managed development environments. This integration gave Cloud Workstations support for popular JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and Rider, allowing developers to take advantage of managed and customizable environments in Google Cloud within their preferred IDE. In 2024, JetBrains extended its collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate Google's Gemini models into JetBrains AI Assistant, making it the first tool of its kind to combine functionality from OpenAI's GPT-4o, Gemini, and JetBrains' proprietary models. The collaboration leveraged Google Cloud's Vertex AI to expand the pool of large language models (LLMs) available to AI Assistant users, with Gemini Pro 1.5 and Flash 1.5 adding a long context window, advanced reasoning, and high-volume, low-latency capabilities. With JetBrains AI Enterprise, organisations were given the ability to configure which LLM their teams use, while for other users the assistant automatically selects the most suitable model for each task. Later that year, starting from version 2024.3 of JetBrains AI Assistant, users were able to select their preferred LLM directly within the AI chat interface. The partnership further expanded in 2025, when JetBrains integrated Gemini 3 Pro into both its AI Assistant and its AI coding agent Junie, with JetBrains noting that the new model showed more than a 50% improvement over Gemini 2.5 Pro in solved benchmark tasks. Google Cloud also made Gemini Code Assist available as a plugin for JetBrains IDEs, supporting real-time code completions, full-function generation, and natural-language-to-code conversion within the JetBrains ecosystem. Other collaborations JetBrains participates in various strategic collaborations, including the Java Community Process Executive Committee, Kotlin Foundation, and supports JUnit 5. The company also partners with Unity for RiderFlow and GitLab to optimize review experiences. == Community and education initiatives ==
