Socket Supply Co. offers a suite of cloud computing applications for web developers and the underlying open source framework. The company aims to make legacy services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) easier to use. A key part of Socket Supply’s strategy is to transition AWS users to a more distributed, peer-to-peer web,” Fragomeni said.
Socket Supply’s cloud console product, Operator Tools, is currently in alpha. The product offers real-time, peer-to-peer collaboration features that allow developers to build decentralized desktop and mobile apps with fully web-based technology.
“Cloud computing allowed new companies to exist where they couldn’t before. It created a new market by offering infrastructure as a service,” said CoinFund CEO and founder Jake Brukhman in a press release. “Socket Supply brings cheaper, more secure, and more usable tooling based on Web 3 decentralization technology to the mass market of developers.”
