Frigga's R&D division exists to close the gaps that the cloud infrastructure market has accepted as permanent. We research, prototype, and build tools that operate at the layer where existing solutions stop working.
Most cloud tooling solves for the common case — the 80% that every team encounters. That leaves a persistent 20% of infrastructure problems that remain unsolved, under-tooled, or duct-taped together with internal scripts and tribal knowledge.
Frigga's R&D division exists to target that gap. We don't build what the market already provides. We research and develop at the layer where existing tools stop working — where organisations are forced to accept limitations as permanent constraints.
Every research track at Frigga is designed to remove a ceiling — not add a feature. We believe the next generation of infrastructure tooling will come from teams willing to operate at the edges of what is currently considered possible.
Every active research track at Frigga targets a specific failure mode in modern cloud infrastructure — areas where existing tooling has accepted limitations as permanent. These are the problems we're solving.
Application-layer attacks are the fastest-growing category of DDoS. They bypass traditional volumetric filters because they mimic legitimate traffic. Brahmastra is a research track focused on building an intelligent defence system that can identify and neutralise Layer 7 attacks in real time — without degrading performance for legitimate users.
Kubernetes was built for containers. But enterprises still run workloads that require full virtual machine semantics — legacy applications, licensing constraints, kernel-level access. Hydraenium is researching how to run full VMs as first-class citizens inside Kubernetes, with the same portability, scheduling, and lifecycle management as containers.
When a breach occurs, the first question is always: who accessed what, and when? Most startups and mid-stage companies cannot answer this. Dvarpala is a unified access-intelligence and forensic-logging platform that captures every SSH session, VPN connection, and privileged action — with tamper-proof audit trails and real-time access graphs.
Infrastructure teams are reactive by default. Alerts fire after something breaks. Capacity is planned after something runs out. Vör is a foundational research track exploring how AI can continuously analyse infrastructure state and proactively identify gaps, misconfigurations, and optimisation opportunities — before they become incidents.
Each domain represents a category of infrastructure failure that we believe is under-served by existing tooling.
Whether you need managed infrastructure today or want early access to what we're building next — we'd like to hear from you.
