[Denver, CO, Date] - HarperDB, a pioneering enterprise application development platform simplifying how global scale applications are built, is excited to unveil its strategic partnership with StackPath, an acclaimed global edge computing platform. This partnership facilitates developer productivity and enterprise cost savings when deploying distributed data and compute solutions.

Together HarperDB and StackPath give developers both the infrastructure and the backend to make enterprise application development easy. With HarperDB's innovative development platform and StackPath's cloud-but-closer solution, developers can now harness the power of co-located data and compute to deliver lightning-fast, low-latency applications to end-users around the world.

[QUOTE FROM STACKPATH]

One key advantage this partnership offers is the ability to synchronize data across distributed HarperDB nodes connected to StackPath's private backbone. This synchronization capability, combined with the in-market locations of StackPath's infrastructure, delivers ultra-low latency experiences to every user. By keeping data closer to end-users, developers can provide a superior user experience with minimal latency, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and engagement.

Furthermore, global RAM requirements can be dramatically reduced by eliminating bottlenecks created by monolithic RAM-intensive central databases. With data on the edge, hyperscaler egress can be bypassed, further maximizing the economic benefits. As applications scale, this network-savings effect can potentially save enterprises millions per year.  

Jaxon Repp, CEO of HarperDB, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Stackpath represents the future of enterprise infrastructure, and HarperDB is excited to leverage their platform to deliver the future of distributed applications. Migrating applications and their data closer to users is the key to low latency, increased resiliency, and unlimited scale- and we’re big believers in simplifying that process. Complexity is the greatest barrier to modern application architecture, and our combined solution reduces that complexity to almost zero."

HarperDB and StackPath empower developers to unleash the power of co-located data and compute, providing tools and infrastructure needed to create high-performance, low-latency applications that cater to a global audience. This partnership simplifies the development process and offers significant cost savings and scalability advantages.

About HarperDB:

HarperDB is a globally-distributed edge application platform. It reduces complexity, increases performance, and lowers costs by combining user-defined applications, a high-performance database, and an enterprise-grade message queue into a single package. The platform offers unlimited horizontal scale at the click of a button and synchronizes data across all the nodes in a cluster in milliseconds. HarperDB simplifies the process of delivering applications and the data that drives them to the edge, which dramatically improves both the user experience and total cost of ownership for large-scale applications. Deploying HarperDB on global infrastructure enables a CDN-like solution for enterprise data and applications.

About StackPath:

StackPath is a cloud platform built at the internet’s edge, providing infrastructure and services physically closer to the source or destination of data than hyperscale cloud service providers. StackPath Edge Compute (including virtual machines and containers), Edge Delivery (including CDN and serverless scripting), and Edge Security (including WAF) solutions run in edge locations strategically deployed in high-density markets and united by a secure global network and a single management system. Customers ranging from Fortune 50 enterprises to one-person startups trust StackPath to give their latency-sensitive workloads and real-time applications the speed, security, and efficiency they require.

5 Architectures for Web Personalization

Personalization is a data-delivery problem. Every architectural choice reduces to two distances: compute to user, and compute to fresh data. This piece maps five real architectures against both axes, scored on a concrete retailer workload where stale or slow data breaks the business.

Agentic Engineering Needs an Opinion: Why Scale Starts with Architecture

AI coding works in a sandbox because the environment is trivially narrow. Real systems have history, constraints, and blast radius. Coding agents make sound decisions only when the architecture is explicit and shared. Opinion isn't a constraint on agentic engineering, it's what makes it possible at scale.

Building a Cozy Sandbox Game on Harper

A nature-restoration game with six biomes, 150 animals, and a real food web — built with a single Harper component as the entire backend. One YAML file wires the database, API, content seeder, and static host. The same binary ships offline on itch.io.
