Building custom software from scratch can be daunting and risky for businesses of all sizes. In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, companies rely heavily on integrating various software and systems to streamline operations and enhance productivity. However, attempting to build such systems from scratch poses numerous challenges and pitfalls that could have a detrimental impact on the business.

One of the significant pitfalls of building custom software and integrations from scratch is the hidden costs associated with the development life cycle. (testing, ongoing maintenance, new features). Custom integrations often require substantial time, money and resources, including hiring skilled developers or outsourcing the development process. These costs can quickly add up and strain your budget, leaving little room for other critical initiatives. Your employees may be diverted from their core responsibilities, resulting in a loss of productivity.

Service providers and network operators can face ongoing challenges in maintaining and updating custom integrations and software. As the technology landscape evolves, compatibility issues may arise, requiring continued updates and modifications to ensure seamless functionality.

NebularStack is our online SaaS solution, a fully distributed cloud platform that provides various services exposed by API(s) and WEB UI. Functionalities like Identity (IAM) and Subscriber Management, which provide AAA functionality to Internet Service providers, are currently at the forefront of the platform.

As a distributed system, we provide high scalability and reliability. All our services run as a collection of computer processes/threads (applications/daemons) that use computational resources across multiple processor cores and separate computation nodes to achieve a shared goal. This inherently ensures that failures remain transparent to users while we can achieve high scalability. Since our platform is natively distributed we have no need for hypervisors, providing predictability, higher performance and lower latency.
