At robur, we build performant bespoke minimal operating systems for high-assurance services.
With our approach to systems development we provide the following advantages for you:
* based on the unikernel pioneer [MirageOS](https://mirage.io)
* secure implementation guarded against memory corruption, typelevel problems, leaky abstraction and unforseen state

* extensive library ecosystem, yet minimal trusted code base at runtime
* rapid prototyping with a seamless path from prototype to production
Computers on the Internet get compromised,
- to access data on the computer (databases, passwords, user accounts) or block
access to it (Ransomware),
- to participate in DoS of other services (e.g. the Mirai botnet on SmartTVs)
and manipulate opinion (chatbots).
Computers on the Internet get compromised, either to steal data from databases
on the computer or deploy ransomware which blocks access to the data until a fee
is paid, or to use the computing resources by participating in denial of service
attacks or manipulate opinion using chatbots.
The software stack often includes parts which are no longer needed, such as
floppy disk drivers. Critical security updates are rarely deployed in time,
because such a change may result in unforeseen behaviour. Additionally, lots of
embedded devices (home router, SmartTV, etc.) have no secure update channel.
The software stack often includes code which is no longer needed, such as floppy
disk drivers which is around at runtime, which is an unneccessary attack
surface. Critical security updates are rarely deployed in time, because such a
change may result in unforeseen behaviour. Additionally, lots of embedded
devices (home router, SmartTV, etc.) do not have a secure update channel.
Instead of trying to fix these decades-old operating systems, which were
designed as multi-user time sharing systems of the past, we build small services
