The Perforce JRebel Story
At the heart of modern software development lies a simple truth: time is your most valuable resource. Perforce JRebel enables your developers to spend that time innovating, not waiting.
JRebel, XRebel, and JRebel Enterprise are proud to be a part of Perforce, the DevOps company for global teams seeking AI innovation at scale.
The JRebel Suite for Java Productivity
What began as a solution to a single frustrating problem has evolved into a comprehensive suite of tools designed to optimize every stage of Java development.
Eliminate Redeploys With Perforce JRebel
JRebel enables Java developers to eliminate redeploys and visualize the impact of their work immediately, saving upwards of a month of Java development time annually. It is the standard for teams who refuse to let infrastructure slow down their innovation.
Shift Left With Perforce XRebel
Efficiency isn't just about writing code faster; it's about writing better Java code. XRebel provides real-time performance insights directly in an intuitive UI. It allows developers to identify and fix performance bottlenecks, database issues, and hidden exceptions — preventing costly issues from reaching production.
Simplify Cloud Configuration With JRebel Enterprise
JRebel Enterprise removes the friction points of cloud development environments by automatically detecting and configuring applications, organizing them into zones like development, staging, and production, and eliminating redeploys—all without downtime or manual effort.
The Impact of JRebel
Founded in 2007 by Jevgeni Kabanov and Toomas Römer under the name ZeroTurnaround, JRebel quickly revolutionized Java development with their flagship software, JRebel. In 2011, JRebel was awarded the Duke’s Choice Award for extreme innovation in Java.
In 2017, ZeroTurnaround was acquired by Rogue Wave Software — a software development solutions company specializing in high performance tools and applications. In 2019, Rogue Wave Software was acquired by Perforce Software, the DevOps company for global teams seeking AI innovation at scale. In 2025, the team not only reintroduced XRebel but also introduced JRebel Enterprise, creating a family of products that can accelerate your Java development velocity in any environment and in all stages of Java development.
Today, the Perforce JRebel family of products continues the mission started by Jevgeni Kabanov and Toomas Römer — to provide tools that help developers code better applications, faster.
