Our take
Clockwork Labs is tackling the growing demand for real-time software at scale. Its goal is to make the complex backend infrastructure behind these application much simpler for developers.
Its product, Spacetime, brings databases, server logic, authentication and real-time syncing together in one platform. The tech was originally built to power Clockwork Labs' own MMORPG, BitCraft, after existing tools fell short.
The company has already put Spacetime through its paces with BitCraft and has backing from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Supercell. The bigger ambition is clear: turn technology built for one huge online world into a platform for many more real-time applications.
