01 / THE BRIEF
What needed
to be built.
CLIENT
Neon Dev
LOCATION
Austin, TX
DURATION
3 months
YEAR
2025
Neon Dev required a high-performance API gateway that could handle millions of requests per second with minimal latency. The goal was to provide a seamless experience for developers building modern applications.
We designed and built a specialized API gateway with a focus on speed, reliability, and developer experience. The platform includes advanced rate limiting, authentication, and monitoring capabilities.
"THE SYSTEM THEY HAD WAS COSTING THEM TRADES. WE ARCHITECTED A SOLUTION THAT RECLAIMED THEIR EDGE."
02 / THE CHALLENGE
The system they had
was costing them trades.
Existing API gateways were often slow and difficult to configure, leading to developer frustration and performance bottlenecks in modern application ecosystems.
- •
High latency in existing API gateway solutions
- •
Complex configuration and poor developer experience
- •
Lack of robust rate limiting and monitoring features
03 / THE SOLUTION
Rebuilt from the
query layer up.
We engineered a high-performance API gateway from the ground up, focusing on sub-ms processing times and a developer-first configuration model. The platform is built for extreme scale and reliability.
- •
Sub-ms API processing latency
- •
Developer-first configuration and CLI tools
- •
Robust rate limiting and real-time monitoring

05 / ARCHITECTURE
Platform Architecture.
We engineered a high-performance distributed system using a custom message broker and a specialized query layer. The architecture is designed for zero downtime and sub-ms internal communication.
06 / INTERFACE
User Interface Design.
The interface was designed with a focus on cognitive load reduction. We used a brutalist design language to create a high-clarity environment for complex technical work, prioritizing data visibility and structural hierarchy.
