It’s more than just a programming language for us: it’s a cornerstone of the innovative solutions we’re building.

With Rust, we can prioritize efficiency and productivity without compromising quality. It's concise syntax and powerful tools empower us to create complex, high-performing systems quickly and effectively.

Cargo (the Rust package manager) also streamlines dependency management tremendously, offering a much smoother development workflow compared to other languages (like Golang.)

Rust’s appeal goes beyond safety and performance—it also delivers a top-tier developer experience. Its compiler is a game-changer, catching common errors at compile time and saving countless hours of debugging.

Beyond its technical strengths, Rust represents a philosophy of security and reliability. By using it, we’re building our software on a foundation designed to minimize vulnerabilities and maximize stability. It’s a language that enables us to innovate with confidence.

Our mission is to build cutting-edge technology capable of processing vast amounts of data at lightning speeds. Rust’s exceptional performance and scalability align seamlessly with these ambitions, giving us the tools to deliver systems that are both powerful and efficient.

I've spent the past five years developing software in the identity and authentication space, and I’ve seen a growing need for languages like Rust. Its unparalleled memory safety guarantees make it the perfect choice for creating reliable, secure software—a necessity in today’s tech landscape.

Our developers are our number one priority, and we're focused on building a space that's welcoming for everyone. It's early days, but I hope you'll join us as we grow! discord.gg/inferadb

Prioritizing clarity and shared context in our codebase reduces friction, speeds up development, and leads to better, more scalable solutions. It’s a commitment to our teams and the quality of our work.

Every line of code tells a story. I often ask: What story will my code tell a year from now? Will it be a clear guide that helps another developer build on it, or a confusing puzzle that slows progress?
November 11, 2025 at 4:57 PM
Writing clear, well-documented code isn’t just about optimizing performance—it’s about improving collaboration and maintainability.
November 11, 2025 at 4:57 PM
My hope for the future is that InferaDB becomes the go-to solution for authorization. We want to empower developers, simplify complex access control, and unlock innovation by removing security bottlenecks. This is just the beginning of our journey. I can't wait to build this with you.

The numbers we're seeing this early are just mind-blowing. In initial benchmarks, we're hitting 4.9 billion ops/sec with a 200ns average response time. It's a testament to the architecture and I'm so energized by its potential to redefine performance for authorization.
November 10, 2025 at 4:56 PM
This is the inspiration for InferaDB. We’re building an open, inference-driven authorization database designed for modern applications. It models relationships as data and policies as logic, making it scalable, intuitive, and incredibly powerful for developers.
November 10, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Today's authorization solutions aren't keeping up. They're complex, inflexible monoliths or scattered microservices that become a major bottleneck for engineering teams. It stifles speed and introduces risk. Developers need something built for modern, distributed systems.
