Who we are
nova8 Technologies designs, builds, and operates the systems businesses and autonomous machines depend on: from the operating system at the bottom of the stack to the business systems and websites people use every day. We take ownership of keeping it running.


We write our own operating system and the tooling that deploys and recovers it. Knowing every layer of the stack is how we build systems that come back up quickly and keep serving.

We modernize legacy and business-critical systems, put them on solid footing, and keep them running, instead of rewriting them for the sake of it.

When a system we build solves a problem other businesses share, it can grow into software we license or run as a service.
nova8 Technologies builds systems for automation and autonomy. We design, build, and operate the systems businesses depend on, and we stay accountable for them after they ship.
Our work spans the whole stack. We build the Container Foundation Platform, nova8OS and its Cloud Platform, along with the tooling that deploys and recovers it. That same depth goes into the business systems, integrations, and websites we build and run for the organizations that rely on them.
Some of that work is new. Much of it starts with software that already matters: a system that has carried a business for years and now needs to be modernized, secured, and moved onto infrastructure that keeps it available. We would rather make a proven system dependable than throw it away.
Every engagement is scoped and contracted on its own terms. Some clients want to own what we build, some want us to run it for them, and some work with us to turn an idea into a product. We agree on the scope, the deliverables, and who operates the software before the work begins.
nova8 is a team of engineers who build software and then run it. The people who write the code are the same people who deploy it, watch it, and answer for it. That keeps us honest about every shortcut, because we are the ones who would live with it.
We work close to the metal and close to the business. The same team that writes boot code and disk-imaging tools also builds data pipelines, customer portals, and websites. That range lets us follow a problem from the hardware up to the screen without handing it off.
Clients work directly with the engineers doing the work, not through layers of account management, and decisions get made by the people who understand the system.
01Recovery, rollback, backups, and monitoring are part of the first design, not a later project. That is how our systems run themselves.
02The engineers who build a system stay accountable for how it behaves in production.
03A working system has value. We modernize and harden what already works before proposing a rewrite.
04Scope, deliverables, ownership, and ongoing operation are written down and agreed before work begins.
05We choose simple, well-understood technology, write it down, and leave systems easier to run than we found them.
06Clients work directly with the engineers on their project, from the first conversation through operation.
Have a system that needs to stay up?
Talk with usnova8 is a play on the word innovate. The 8 is part of the name, not a version number, so there is no nova9 waiting behind it. The name reflects what we do: find a better way to build systems and make them real.
