Building open infrastructure
for a connected world.
Abstract Machines is an open-source infrastructure company based in Paris. We build secure, scalable systems for IoT and edge computing, used in production by enterprises, researchers, and innovators across Europe and beyond.
Why we exist
To democratize access to enterprise-grade infrastructure through open-source innovation, enabling organisations of all sizes to build secure, scalable distributed systems without starting from scratch.
What drives us
Core principles guiding every line of code we ship.
Open Source First
We build in public, contribute back, and believe transparency creates better software. Our entire stack is open source, not just the parts that are convenient.
Security by Design
Security is a first-class requirement, not a feature bolted on later. From mTLS to confidential computing, we build it in from the start.
Innovation at the Edge
We push the frontier of distributed systems, IoT, and edge computing through production work and EU research programmes.
Pragmatic Excellence
Production-ready quality, delivered with engineering discipline. We ship systems that work at Nokia, Intel, and Ericsson scale.
Expert and distributed
