Podomy builds hived, a partition-native runtime for machine fleets that cannot stay connected. Deploy workloads, keep operating through segmentation, and reconcile state when nodes reconnect.
Kubernetes assumes connectedness. hived assumes partition. Each node carries the control logic it needs to act locally.
Each node decides what can run inside the bubble it can see.
Truth is a local durable event log. State, peers, and workloads are views.
Reconnected nodes exchange missing events and merge deterministically.
Workloads declare multiplicity, authority, freshness, and merge behavior.
Containerd runs first. Other executors can support heterogeneous fleets later.
hived classifies everything as known, unknown, stale, conflicted, confirmed, or unconfirmed.
The cloud operating model is coming to machines, but real machines do not stay connected.
Underground and remote fleets operate through RF gaps where downtime is expensive.
AUVs dive, lose comms, surface, and sync. Partition is normal.
Mobile assets need software that works without a reliable cloud or network.
hived is AGPL. Commercial licenses are available for companies that cannot open-source their modifications.
