Cyber attackers still have the advantage. We’re taking it back with creativity, intellectual curiosity, and a sense of humor. Are you ready to help us reclaim the upper hand?

The mission of the Middleware team is to create a fault-resilient, highly available, customer-centric platform.

Our services are written primarily in Python and Golang with a focus on security, scalability, and stability. We create solutions for database memory issues, secure connections between appliances, data migrations, and configuration management for appliances.
