Labs
Experiments, research, and side projects. Where we test new technologies and explore ideas before applying them to client work.
NortherCodes Platform
Full-featured project registry and Git hosting platform. Built with Rust for performance and security, featuring integrated malware scanning and vulnerability detection.
Technical Highlights
- Zero-cost abstractions with Rust
- Async I/O with Tokio runtime
- Type-safe SQL with sqlx
- Security-first architecture
Active Experiments
Current research and ongoing projects in infrastructure and development.
Homelab Infrastructure
Personal datacenter running Proxmox virtualization with TrueNAS storage. Used for testing deployment strategies and infrastructure patterns before production.
Self-Hosted DevOps Stack
Complete self-hosted development infrastructure including Git hosting, CI/CD, object storage, and reverse proxy. Zero reliance on external services.
Infrastructure Automations
Collection of Ansible playbooks and scripts for server provisioning, configuration management, and maintenance tasks.
Performance Research
Exploring Rust, WebAssembly, and edge computing for high-performance applications. Benchmarking and optimization experiments.
Why We Experiment
Client work requires proven solutions, but innovation comes from experimentation. Labs is where we test new technologies, break things safely, and learn what works before recommending it to clients.
Every tool and pattern we recommend has been battle-tested in our own infrastructure first. This hands-on experience translates to better advice and faster problem-solving for clients.
