Deliver Performance and Simplicity with Distributed Microliths

Distributed microliths unify data, logic, and execution into one high-performance runtime, eliminating microservice latency and complexity. By replicating a single coherent process across regions, they deliver sub-millisecond responses, active-active resilience, and edge-level speed. Platforms like Harper prove this model reduces infrastructure, simplifies operations, and scales globally with ease.
