number 0 protocol services

Shipping quality software is hard.

Much worse if you need to connect devices directly. You’ll have to hire at least one distributed systems engineer, they’ll pull & configure a library for you, throw a dart at a pile of whitepapers, and hope they’ve chosen the right techniques. If you’re lucky the first version will land after 6 months of work. When it finally does ship, the bug reports start.

“doesn’t work on hotel wifi”, “laggy connections at work”, “my phone is hot”. Users say kind things in interviews, but things are not clicking. Your networking engineer is now a networking team, the project is 8 months behind schedule, three quarters of your innovation budget is spent, and your vision of building something with real user benefits is starting to slip.

It doesn’t have to be this way. The number 0 team can get you out of the food, water, & shelter phase of direct connections. We can get you up & running in weeks, with software that just works, so you can focus on delivering meaningful software.

A network engineering team, for less than the cost of one dev.

With a combined 70+ years of distributed systems design & development experience, we represent one of the very few teams on the planet with a proven track record of shipping direct connection topologies into production apps.
