Everything You Need to Build Faster

The speed at which a web page loads can significantly impact revenue. To combat this growing latency challenge, Harper delivers a powerful, flexible technology that can accelerate every experience.

HarperDB, bringing next-level web performance to a digital-first world, announced that it has been named an IDC Innovator in the report, IDC Innovators: Edge Inference Delivery, 2024.

Since late 2022, Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots have revolutionized AI-driven conversations using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to pull in relevant data for context. However, latency remains a challenge in retrieving information quickly. Noetic Caching addresses this by caching contextual data rather than responses, leveraging locality principles to store frequently used or regionally relevant data closer to users. This approach, integrated by Harper, optimizes retrieval speeds, reduces reliance on distant databases, and enhances chatbot performance, offering a balance of speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness for better AI experiences.

Built In announced that HarperDB was honored in its 2025 Best Places To Work Awards, earning a place on three lists: Best Remote Startup, Best Startup Colorado, and Best Overall Colorado. The annual awards program includes companies of all sizes, from startups to those in the enterprise, and honors both remote-first employers, as well as companies in large tech markets across the U.S.

Scaling requires removing bottlenecks, from CPU and memory limits to network inefficiencies. Fully integrated systems like Harper unify core components, enabling faster, more efficient scalability with reduced complexity and cost.

Learn how top retailers achieve sub-millisecond response times by unifying backend systems. Cut latency, boost revenue, and scale effortlessly with simplified architecture and real-world results.

Reducing latency for “snappy responses” requires scaling infrastructure to handle high traffic, placing data closer to users with caching and replication, and minimizing interdependencies between components. Fully integrated systems like Harper unify database, caching, and application layers, reducing inefficiencies and ensuring low-latency performance at scale.
