Zend is a technology company best known for its role in the web development and support. Founded in 1999, it is responsible for creating the Zend Framework, one of the most widely used Web frameworks for building robust and scalable web applications.
 

In addition to the framework, Zend offers enterprise solutions such as Zend Server (a web application platform for enterprise environments) and various development, support, and optimization tools for web. The company has also contributed to the evolution of the web language, helping to develop the Zend Engine, the execution engine for web.
 

Over time, Zend has undergone several changes, including its acquisition by Rogue Wave Software in 2015 and later by Perforce Software in 2019. Today, its technology remains relevant for companies using web on a large scale, providing support, security, and optimization for applications.
