LucidLink

About

In 2012, George Dochev was leading engineering teams spread across France, Bulgaria and the US when he realized something was fundamentally broken. Builds went out at 9 am Paris time, hours passed while they synced to Bulgaria, and the US team was still downloading yesterday's files. Half the day was gone before anyone was looking at the same version. The tools promised collaboration across distance, but the tradeoff was clear: you could work from anywhere, as long as you were willing to work slowly.

George questioned the premise itself. What if distance wasn't the problem? What if cloud data didn't have to feel remote at all? In January 2016, he and former DataCore colleague Peter Thompson founded LucidLink on a single conviction: data should be instantly and securely accessible from anywhere. They introduced the world to a first-of-its-kind storage collaboration platform using file streaming technology - instead of copying entire files back and forth, you stream only the data you need, exactly when you need it. The file stays in one place and behaves like it's local. Today, teams like Warner Bros., Discovery, Spotify, Paramount, Adobe and Netflix use LucidLink to collaborate on massive files in real time, from 4K video to CAD models. Recognized with a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for transforming television workflows, LucidLink has made distance disappear for creative teams worldwide, proving that when you remove the wait, you unlock what teams can create together.

Diagrid

We're a team building tools that help developers focus on writing code instead of wrestling with infrastructure. Founded by the creators of Dapr and KEDA, we know firsthand how complex distributed systems can be - that's why we created Diagrid Catalyst and Diagrid Enterprise. Our goal is to make AI agents and workflows reliable, secure, and actually workable in production environments, not just in demos. What makes us different is our open-source DNA. Everyone at Diagrid contributes to open source, whether that's submitting code, maintaining documentation, presenting at conferences, or helping users in Discord. We don't believe in vendor lock-in - our products work with standard open-source Dapr, not some proprietary fork. We've been contributing to Dapr since day one, and we're proud to be one of the largest contributors to the CNCF project.
