If you look at our history, it's basically just been one scalability issue or wall that we run into every couple of months over and over and over.

And it's always a new one, right? You know, eventually we've hit a scale where we're moving petabytes of data per month.

But in the early days, you know, we could barely handle gigabytes of data, right?

It's been very, very tough for us, but we've also internally focused on it. And so in 2021,

there was a time where we, our system fell down seven months in a row, where we had just like a hard

outage.

Kyle Tutte started out his life wanting to be a car mechanic.

His mom affirmed his aspirations, but gave him the advice to make sure he owned the mechanic's shop.

He's taken interesting pass through the auto world, marketing, and eventually into the tech world.

Outside of tech, he's originally from North Dakota, but now lives in Nebraska and enjoys the

practicality of the way people think in the Midwest. Kyle knew that storing data on the blockchain was expensive.

At the same time, it wasn't fast, nor was it stable.

He and his co-finder set out to build an unbelievably fast content delivery network,

easily accessible across the world.
