Jelastic was founded in 2011 as a public cloud company. Initially, it was a Platform as a Service specifically targeted on Java hosting.[2][3] In 2012, the company received the Java Duke Choice Award.[4]

In June 2013, Jelastic announced the hiring of Mark Zbikowski, a former Microsoft architect and contributor to MS-DOS, as a senior adviser.[9] In July 2013, Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of PHP, joined Jelastic as a senior adviser.[10]
In November 2014, the creators of the Java programming language James Gosling and Bruno Souza joined the Jelastic team.[11]
In 2018, Jelastic received Duke's Choice Award[12] for the second time.
In 2021, Virtuozzo acquired Jelastic technology and business to offer First Full-Stack Cloud Management Solution[buzzword] for Service Providers.[13][14] The acquisition comes after a 10-year partnership between the two companies.[15]
