We are a nonprofit open source software cooperative whose mission is to develop robust and secure digital infrastructure. We strive to enable more people to reliably run their own infrastructure by producing correct, surprise-free software to be deployed in real environments. Our software aims to meet the needs of anyone working in an environment where security and dependability is vital.
We write all our code in a high-level memory-safe (and more secure) programming language called [OCaml](/Our%20Work/Technology-Employed#OCaml). In addition each piece of software leverages [MirageOS](/Our%20Work/Technology-Employed#MirageOS) (a minimal operating system) to produce bespoke applications tailored to only contain their required functionality. Each service is executed on virtual machines with a size usually around 1-10 MB, much smaller than a UNIX / Linux system, and it boots within milliseconds.
We work with [clients](/Our%20Work/Services), [partners](/About%20Us/Network#Collaborations) and [funders](/About%20Us/Network#Grant-Funders) to design and develop open-source protocols and applications within this approach.
