Conveyor Stack
Roadmap

A long-term initiative to build a sovereign, vendor-neutral IaaS platform — evolving through open governance or independent system design.

Conveyor Stack

A multi-year program to design an open infrastructure platform comparable to OpenStack or Apache CloudStack.

Phase 1: Conveyor CI

A headless, cloud-native CI/CD orchestration engine designed as the foundation of the stack.

CNCF Sandbox GateThe acceptance of Conveyor CI into the CNCF Sandbox determines governance, development model, and long-term ecosystem alignment.

Conveyor CI is evaluated for acceptance into the CNCF Sandbox. This outcome determines whether Conveyor Stack evolves through community-integrated development or through a fully sovereign stack.

Critical Junction point

Community Path

Activated if Conveyor CI is accepted into the CNCF Sandbox.

Leverage existing CNCF-aligned systems and communities to accelerate development.

  • Reuse mature databases & brokers
  • Community-driven governance
  • Focus on orchestration & integration

Sovereign Stack

Activated if CNCF Sandbox acceptance is not achieved.

Design and build a fully sovereign infrastructure stack from first principles.

  • Distributed embeddable document database
  • Event-based message broker
  • Custom storage & virtualization

Community & Mentorship

Investing in the
Human Protocol.

We believe the future of software infrastructure is built on open collaboration. Our lab actively sponsors Open Source Software (OSS) projects and provides rigorous mentorship for graduate students and developers pushing the boundaries of what is possible in core computing.

OSS Grants

Infrastructure and engineering support for critical low-level libraries.
