Small servers, trimmed by hand.

We keep a few quiet machines in Tokyo. They are watered weekly, bowed to daily, and supervised by a cat with root access and no sense of urgency.

Services

盆

Bonsai servers

Very small. Pruned by hand every morning. Provisioning takes about forty years, but the result is beautiful.

速

Shinkansen CDN

If a packet arrives more than one second late, a staff member issues a formal apology and a delay certificate.

禅

Zen monitoring

If a server falls over and nobody gets paged, did it make a sound? We sit with the question. Then we restart nginx.

Status

Live from the server room. Updated whenever someone remembers.

?draw before you push

Every deploy at our office starts with a paper fortune. It is more accurate than the staging environment.
