Devforge
Devforge Pty Ltd

A blacksmith's shop for software.

Devforge builds developer infrastructure the way a smith works metal: heated, shaped, and tempered until it's dependable. Every tool we make is self-hostable and yours to own, no managed cloud, no lock-in.

Why we build

Modern software teams stitch together a dozen hosted services and hope the seams hold. Your data ends up scattered across vendors, hidden behind databases you can't read, and locked into clouds you can't leave.

Devforge takes the opposite bet. We build small, sharp tools, fast where it counts and familiar everywhere else. Wherever it fits, your data lives in human-readable files and history you control; everywhere, it's yours to self-host. Standards you already know, not a walled garden.

The result is infrastructure you can actually reason about: see how it works, run it on your own metal, and walk away whenever you want. Batteries included, but never a black box.

  • Devforge·The forge itself, the shop where everything is made.
  • Anvil·The anvil, where connected data is shaped.
  • Hammer·The hammer, the tool that shapes what's on the anvil.
  • Aegis·The shield, one guarded door for every request.
  • Foundry·The foundry, where a team is cast together.
  • Stencil·The stencil, patterns you press onto the web.
Our principles

Four principles, pressed into every tool

01

The right tool for each layer

Performance-critical engines built for speed; interfaces built to feel familiar. We reach for whatever fits each layer, and never make you pay for the wrong choice.

02

Own your data

Self-hostable by default, with no vendor lock-in. Your graphs, content and messages live in stores and files you control, not someone else's cloud.

03

Open and familiar

Standards you already know (Cypher, GraphQL, WHIP/WHEP, Git), not a walled garden. Import your existing data and keep your existing tools.

04

Built to be understood

Batteries included, but never a black box. Human-readable storage, typed protocols and inspectable history you can reason about end to end.
