Defiant System

The Computer Evolved

March 10th, 2024

When personal computers were introduced 50+ years ago our lives looked completely different. We spent most of our days behind a desk and mobile phones didn’t exist. Today our lives are far more mobile and we have taken small steps to move our applications and data into the cloud. Karaqu allows you to take a giant leap into the future and become completely cloud-based.

Karaqu moves everything online! All your applications, documents, photos, music and all other files are online - you can access them no matter where you are, from any computer or mobile phone. Click here to watch a Youtube clip demoing Defiant in action.

Karaqu can be installed and booted up into on any computer with a tiny Linux distro - even on Raspberry Pi.

Get Invitation Code

Karaqu is currently in closed-beta. In order to create an account, you will need an invitation code. You can request an invitation by submitting the form below. You will receive an email as soon as possible. Additionally, Karaqu users with premium accounts can issue 15 invitations every day.

Karaqu runs on self-scaling server clusters to maintain predefined high performance. Docker is used to deploy containers with code to run certain specialized tasks - also known as microservices.

Cloud Architecture

Karaqu is built with modern cloud native architecture - using microservices, the system is self-scaling to maintain predefined high-level performance on the server cluster it is running upon. Of course, you can work offline at any time - the system will auto-sync whenever your computer is connected to the internet.

Karaqu is deployed atop CapEx light public cloud infrastructure. Without regard to the underlying infrastructure, a Karaqu experience is always identical. You will experience a single-action interface which delivers a secure, sophisticated and high fidelity interface.

Karaqu platform is built and deployed using technologies and diciplines such as Kubernetes, Docker, NodeJS, microservices and Javascript as primary language on frontend as well as backend.

An Open Platform

Applications deployed in Karaqu are open source at Github. In order to facilitate development, Karaqu offers a well-tested command line tool - making processes such as scaffolding new applications, testing, development and deployment - simpler than ever seen before on any existing platform.

This platform was built using Mac Pro and two 27" Cinema Display monitors.
