Build Where the
Cloud Can’t Reach

The Next Era Starts at the Edge

Over the last few decades, the cloud has expanded the reach of apps beyond single desktops, hub-and-spoke connecting all the myriad devices we carry with us. But users and their data don’t live in the cloud, they live at the edge. It’s time we admit: centralization was just a stopgap. Unfortunately, most developers today are stuck building apps like it’s the hey-day of the monolithic cloud way back in 2012. We know this: the next era of software won’t be written in a cloud console. It’ll be built by wrangling full control of data and compute at the edge. If you’re serious about building that future real systems, real software, real resilience you already know you have to go beyond the cloud.

Our Mission

To unchain developers from the shackles of the cloud, so they own their software, and end-users own their data.

Why We Exist

Data isn’t waiting politely for a stable internet connection to travel back to the cloud anymore — it’s being created constantly, everywhere: on devices, in vehicles, across cities, under the water, and out in orbit.

And all that data wants to be connected everywhere.

Source exists so developers can build apps that network all data and compute at the Source, across all their edge devices; the cloud then shifts to optional, auxiliary status.

We solve the hard problems that slow you down, or that others claim can’t be solved: peer-to-peer networking, offline functionality, verifiable data, flexible deployment, trust and granular access control.

With Source, developers don’t just build faster, they build stronger. They create systems that give users, businesses, and governments true control over their own data, without needing to trust third parties.

We are not alone in the movement towards local compute

Our Vision

Software shouldn’t be trapped by the tyranny of centralized infrastructure. Developers, businesses, users, nobody should have to rent their own data back from these providers.

Data should live at the edge of users’ fingertips, move freely where they want and need them, and adapt to the real world around them.

Source gives developers the foundation to make that happen:

  • Privacy and security by default, not bolted on after launch.
  • Seamless portability and offline resilience across smartphones, vehicles, field sensors, satellites, and beyond.
  • True modularity: build only what you need, deploy anywhere you want — with no cloud tether slowing you down.
  • Sovereignty at every layer: enabling developers to reclaim control for themselves — and deliver it to their users.

Our Values

We built Source around a few non-negotiable beliefs:

  • Developer Sovereignty: You control what you build, how it runs, and where it lives — without gatekeepers or middlemen.
  • End-User Sovereignty: True software innovation puts users in control of their own data — whether they’re individuals, businesses, or governments.
  • Trust by Design: Privacy, security, and verifiability are built in from the start — not duct-taped on later.
  • Community Over Bureaucracy: Great builders come from everywhere. Our Sourcerer community is open to anyone ready to build boldly.
  • Breaking Free from the Cloud: The cloud served a purpose. Now it’s time to move beyond its limits.

Being a Sourcerer

At Source, developers aren’t just building software. They’re reshaping where and how technology lives.

We call them Sourcerers because they do what others think is impossible: they design systems that run where life happens — not just where cloud coverage permits.

But being a Sourcerer goes deeper than just technical skill.

It means building systems that respect users — giving them real ownership over their own data. It means designing infrastructure that doesn’t just serve business models — but serves people and businesses.

Being a Sourcerer means taking control from those who shouldn’t have it, and giving control back to those who should.

It means building systems that move at the speed of reality, and putting trust where it belongs: in the hands of the user.

If that’s the future you see, you’re already one of us

Join the Movement

Source isn’t merely any ol’ application stack. Source is the edge-first data management stack where developers build real world edge-native systems — the kind that stay fast, stay private, and stay alive even and especially when the cloud can’t keep up.

But it’s also a rallying cry for developers who are ready to stop asking permission, and start building a freer future.

Our Sourcerers are deploying across disconnected environments, smart vehicles, industrial networks, healthcare systems, space infrastructure, and more.

They’re proving every day that edge-first isn’t just viable, it’s inevitable. If you’re ready to build without compromise — and deliver real sovereignty to your users — Source is here for you.

Let’s move beyond the bottlenecks, together.

Master your Sourcery with the magic of data and compute at the edge.

Want to Build This Future With Us?

We’re assembling a team of Sourcerers — builders who aren’t just writing code, but reshaping how software runs across the real world. At Source, you’ll:

  • Work on foundational tech: peer-to-peer systems, verifiable data, edge-native compute.
  • Build infrastructure that runs on smartphones, satellites, and everything in between.
  • Ship software that puts power back in the hands of developers and users.

If you’re the kind of engineer who’s tired of cloud constraints and excited to solve hard problems at the edge, we want to hear from you.
