Research

Understanding the systems we may need next.

Coex research examines emerging infrastructure problems before their solutions become established product categories. We focus on the reasons systems behave the way they do, the constraints shaping their evolution, and the business consequences of those changes.

RESEARCH-011Compute

What If Containers Didn't Have to Share the Same Kernel?

Revisiting the boundary between containers and machines for autonomous development.

RESEARCH-010Security

Between Intent and Infrastructure

What changes when operating infrastructure starts with a conversation.

RESEARCH-009Distributed Systems

The Mail Server Doesn't Have to Live on the Internet

Separating presence from ownership in one of the Internet's oldest services.

RESEARCH-008Security

The Agent Is Not the Security Boundary

Why autonomous software should not be responsible for deciding whether its own actions are permitted.

RESEARCH-007Compute

The Economics of Idle Acceleration

Expensive compute changes the infrastructure conversation when utilization becomes measurable.

RESEARCH-006Operations

Why AI Infrastructure Needs Policy Before Scale

Scaling capability before establishing boundaries creates operational debt.

RESEARCH-005Storage

Storage Is Becoming a Placement Problem Too

Why capacity, performance and locality should increasingly be treated independently.

RESEARCH-004Security

The Infrastructure Has to Know Who Asked

Identity becomes more important—not less—when software acts on behalf of people.

RESEARCH-003AI Systems

Local AI Doesn't Have to Mean Isolated AI

Rethinking the boundary between privately operated infrastructure and external intelligence.

RESEARCH-002Distributed Systems

Compute Is Becoming a Location Decision

Why the question is changing from "Where is the server?" to "Where should this workload run?"

RESEARCH-001AI Systems

When Software Starts Acting

Why infrastructure designed for human operators changes when software can make operational decisions independently.
