Why Gothar
We build systems that last.
Philosophy
Speed without reliability is chaos. Reliability without speed is stagnation. We architect systems that deliver both—edge-first infrastructure that responds in milliseconds and scales without breaking. We use AI like we use any tool: with discipline. Language models assist our work—from design to deployment—but every decision ships with human judgment. We've built AI-powered systems since machine learning meant more than marketing. We know what works in production and what's still theater. No shortcuts. No complexity for complexity's sake. Every line of code earns its place.
How we work
35-minute development cycles
We ship production code every 35 minutes. Frame the problem. Build the solution. Test rigorously. Deploy confidently. Repeat. This rhythm keeps us honest—no speculation, no waste, just measured progress toward systems that work.
What we believe
Simple beats clever
The best code is code you don't write. The best architecture is the one you don't notice.
Speed is a feature
Sub-50ms response times aren't a goal—they're a baseline. Your users deserve instant.
Production proves everything
22 live systems. Real users. Real load. Real consequences. We practice what we preach.
