“The future is PHP+ WASM, & beautiful”

– Andrew Rulnick (CEO & Founder)

PHP+ WASM on GKE

CHANGES EVERYTHING

Forget Limitations. Embrace Infinite Possibility. The Paradigm Has Shifted. Secure, Performant, AI-Ready Infrastructure is Reality. Our groundbreaking platform for PHP isn’t just an iteration; it’s a fundamental re-architecture delivering an order of magnitude improvement:

  • Inherent Memory Safety & Unprecedented Security: By running server-side code (like PHP) within WASM sandboxes, we eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities tied to direct memory manipulation. Combined with GKE’s robust containerization and Google’ security, this delivers defense-in-depth previously unimaginable.
  • Unparalleled Isolation & Resource Mastery: Each workload, containerized and orchestrated by GKE, achieves fine-grained resource control, resilience, and true scalability. Resource contention becomes a solved problem, ensuring predictable high performance.
  • Near-Native Performance & Ultimate Portability: WASM delivers optimized execution speed and a portable bytecode that runs consistently across diverse environments. Combined with efficient networking (like Nginx) and GKE’s power, applications are faster and more responsive than ever.
  • The Launchpad for Embedded & Multi-Tier AI: This architecture isn’t just about today’s applications; it’s engineered as the foundational layer for tomorrow’s AI-enhanced services. Compact WASM-compiled AI models can run at the edge, seamlessly interfacing with powerful cloud-based AI (like Vertex AI) for sophisticated intelligence.

This isn’t theory. It’s deployed, production-ready, and powering mission-critical applications today. We’ve proven that this model – secure sandboxing, powerful orchestration, and AI-readiness – is the future.


From Proven Infrastructure to Visionary Worlds: DNS Engine


If this revolutionary approach can redefine PHP and web infrastructure, imagine what it can do for the demanding, dynamic, and infinitely complex world of interactive entertainment. Welcome to the Definitely Not SCUMM (DNS) Engine.


Building upon these validated principles of security, performance, and intelligent architecture, DNS takes this vision to its ultimate expression:

  • GKE Power, Reimagined for Games: We leverage the same Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) foundation for unmatched scalability and resilience, but tailored for the unique demands of real-time, server-authoritative game worlds using bleeding edge compute such as A100s & CUDA alongside custom drivers DESIGNA is building.
  • Hyper-Optimization Beyond WASM: While WASM provides a crucial layer, DNS pushes further. Our core is built in Go, optimized down to its runtime DNA, and we accelerate critical systems with custom CUDA/HIP kernels, wringing every ounce of performance from server-side GPUs.
  • Embedded models with deep knowledge of systems: Taking the multi-tier AI concept to its zenith, DNS integrates Google Cloud’s Vertex AI (Gemma Flash & beyond), JAX/Flax, custom models to dynamically create and evolve. This means:
    • Worlds that author their own narratives in real-time.
    • Inhabitants with persistent memories and evolving motivations (our “Definitely Not Nemesis” system).
    • Vast, unique game spaces continuously shaped by AI & players choices that are shared both locally and globally at scale unlike anything we have seen before.
