Just Develop, Deploy.
From your garage to the edge.

Rust core
Memory-safe, efficient implementation for predictable performance.
Routing & DNS
Dynamic rules via nproxy/ncproxy + ndns/ncdns.
TLS across services
End-to-end TLS with mesh primitives in progress.
Jobs & Cron
Automate tasks and workflows alongside your services.
Minimal ops
Opinionated defaults, batteries-included CLI & daemon.
