Reimagine What's Possible

For years, developers have carried the weight of complexity.

Code, databases, caches, and messages, all piled up.

This has made scale feel like an uphill battle.

Every leap forward came with a tradeoff.

More latency, higher costs, longer timelines.

Building something fast and global meant spending years just to get the basics right.

The founders at Harper lived that pain.

They’d lived it across countless projects, and eventually decided it shouldn’t be that way.

After years of building, testing, and rebuilding, they created a platform that makes performance and scale feel natural.

Harper brings data, logic, and application functions together in one runtime, turning what used to be a constant struggle into something developers can simply build on.

Now, anyone with an idea can create what once felt out of reach.

No sprawling infrastructure. No endless tuning. Just speed, simplicity, and freedom to focus on what matters most.

Making something extraordinary.

Core Values

Our core values are the guiding principles for making decisions, building relationships, and solving problems.

Accountability

We believe that a high-performing team with the power to make a real impact thrives on accountability. We hold ourselves, our teammates and our leaders accountable for our actions, decisions and commitments. By fostering a culture of responsibility and ownership, we ensure trust, efficiency and continuous growth - both as individuals and as a team.

Authenticity

We believe that a diverse team is able to find creative solutions to problems. We do not believe in asking our team to conform to corporate culture, but rather allowing our culture to evolve with the addition of each new team member. We believe that the key to the success of each individual is to encourage them to be themselves.

Empowerment

We believe that no person stands alone, and that any project worth doing cannot be done without a good team. Good teams are comprised of individuals that are empowered to operate with freedom while owning their flaws and celebrating their victories.

Focus

We believe in the power of single minded determination, focus, and quality. We believe in giving our customers our undivided attention until their issue is resolved, their need is met, and the customer is happy. We believe that focus leads to the creation of high quality products, happy customers, and a happy team.

Transparency

Nothing is more powerful than information. At Harper we believe in being radically transparent with our customers and our team. We promise to always be honest and transparent, and to admit our weaknesses as clearly and honestly as we tout our strengths.
