Software that holds up under load.

Rivera Softworks is a small independent studio. We build performance-critical native tools, and the licensing, distribution, and telemetry platforms that ship them. Native code to CSS, one team, no seams.

Our work spans systems and native engineering on Windows: instrumentation, process tooling, and performance-critical code below the framework line. Real-time rendering and UI built on DirectX, holding a frame budget without exception. And the web platforms behind it all: Next.js frontends, Node services, and Postgres, boring by design and fast by default.

We keep the surface area small. Few dependencies, few services, few abstractions, each one something we have agreed to maintain for years. Frame budgets and query plans are requirements, not aspirations, measured before and after every change. We ship often, in changes small enough to reason about and to reverse.
