Research & Innovation

We publish what we learn building at scale.

Our Research & Innovation Lab studies the architecture of durable systems and shares the findings, whether or not they flatter the industry consensus.

Innovation Lab

Applied AI

Studying how AI systems perform once they leave the prototype and enter production.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Researching cost, resilience, and topology patterns for infrastructure at scale.

Distributed Systems

Formalizing failure-domain design for systems operating across regions and networks.
