HarperDB joins 5G Open Innovation Labs to facilitate technology development for startups innovating with 5G edge networks.   

In its five years of existence, 5G OI Lab has supported 129 startups on their go-to-market journeys. With HarperDB now part of the ecosystem, startups can save considerable time and money when deploying applications on 5G networks.

HarperDB’s all-in-one technology combines state-of-the-art database, caching, application, and streaming services into a single platform, making all backend services just a line of code away. Compared to legacy-stack architectures that require integrating, deploying, coding, and maintaining multiple systems, HarperDB reduces the resource overhead and network transfer that drive up the cost and latency of multi-system architectures—making building and scaling 5G-connected technologies with HarperDB a no-brainer.

Building off existing partnerships with Verizon 5G Edge and AWS Wavelength, HarperDB is honored to extend its enterprise-grade 5G technology development solution to startups.

“We are excited to help 5G IO Lab’s ecosystems of startups thrive,” said Jaxon Repp, HarperDB’s Field CTO. “Startups are already strapped for time and cash. It feels great to alleviate their development stress while helping prove and scale their concepts. We can’t wait to see what they build.”

Kafka-Centered Stacks vs. a Single Harper Cluster: Where Real-Time Latency Actually Comes From

End-to-end latency in real-time pipelines comes from coordination across systems, not from any single component. Four common workloads, tested two ways, show where multi-hop architectures compound delays and where collapsing storage, messaging, and compute into one runtime changes the math.

Your API cache is secretly a database

Most teams treat a cache as a black box: URL-keyed blobs with a TTL, useful for speed and nothing else. In Harper, cached data lands in a real table inside the same query engine. That means filtering, joining, real-time subscriptions, and vector search all work against it.

Introducing Structon: Random-Access Binary Encoding for JavaScript

Deserializing entire records to read one field is a bottleneck at scale. Structon stores objects in a binary format where any field is reachable by byte offset, with lazy getters that never allocate until you access a property. It's the encoding Harper has used internally for years, now a standalone package.
