What We Do

Founded in 2018 by a team from Stanford University, Clockwork's technology enables time-sensitive applications in areas such as financial trading, high-tech, and online gaming. Being software-based, its solutions can run anywhere: in on-premises data centers, public clouds, or hybrid environments. Taking aim at the 'clockless architecture' prevalent in distributed systems and networks, Clockwork.io aims to redefine a large part of the way these technologies (which underlie the cloud) are currently practiced.
