Overclock Labs

Overclock Labs, creators of Akash Network, develops tools, protocols and infrastructure to make foundational elements of the Internet open, decentralized, and simple.

Overclock Labs (OL), creator of the Akash Network, allows developers to deploy and manage their apps across cloud networks in a cloud agnostic manner. Its Decentralized Infrastructure for Serverless Computing Operations (DISCO) open source platform offers support for a wide range of apps, which allows users to avoid vendor lock-in and move across cloud vendors. Users can either deploy the source code on the DISCO platform or build their own containers and deploy the containers of the platform. The company claims its platform is compatible with all cloud providers, and it partnered with cybersecurity firm Polyverse Corporation in 2018 to secure the Akash Network.

The innovative cost dynamics of serverless computing allow more customers onto the cloud without breaking the bank.

SLAppForge offers support for companies developing serverless apps on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud through its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) “Sigma.” Sigma is the first completely browser-based IDE and offers a drag-and-drop framework for intuitive coding. The platform was also the first IDE to offer live debugging of Lambda functions, and also provides support for live debugging on NodeJS and Python functions. Sri Lanka-based SLAppForge incorporated its US entity and brought on CEO Wallace Wilhoite (former IT Manager at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in January 2020.

 Triggermesh’s platform allows users to create serverless apps that integrate multiple cloud, data center, and on-premise software and environments, on top of Kubernetes. Through these integrations, the platform aims to break “silos” between enterprise customers and their software development and IT operations (DevOps) teams. The cloud and infrastructure integration development speed is reportedly enhanced by reusing connectors and customizable templates. 
 
 
 In March 2022, the platform announced broad support for KNative (an open-source platform to build and deploy serverless workloads) which includes any conformant Knative deployment, along with the provision of Knative distribution. TriggerMesh also announced broad support for creating event-driven architecture that runs on Kubernetes in Google Cloud, to enable users to create integrations to sync data or drive event-driven workloads. 
 Triggermesh went on to launch a service to enable enterprises using Kubeless migrate to Knative in May 2022.
 
 
 Funding and financials 
 
 
 The company raised USD 5 million in seed funding in July 2021, from Cisco, to invest in expanding its go-to-market strategy. Along with the funding, Triggermesh also noted that it would collaborate with Cisco to deliver improved enterprise automation solutions and cloud-native integrations, leveraging Cisco’s vast enterprise and cloud footprint.
