We build cool software.
Founded in 2010 by Eric Malamisura, Elucidsoft is an independent software company. We build commercial platforms and open-source developer tools, funded by product revenue and built on long-term engineering.

Commercial platforms and open-source projects
We build two types of software: commercial SaaS products that generate revenue, and open-source developer tools released to the community.
Commercial SaaS
Operating businesses generating sustainable revenue under registered trade names.
Upstat
Upstat is an upcoming incident response and operational intelligence platform for DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and engineering managers. It unifies synthetic monitoring, on-call scheduling, incident workflows, and status pages within a single operational data model.
cloudlayer.io
cloudlayer.io is an HTML-first visual content, document, and form platform. It combines visual drag-and-drop designer tooling, dynamic HTML/Nunjucks templates, and automated capture with high-performance PDF and image generation APIs.
ActLume
ActLume is an upcoming multi-tenant web platform for commercial manufacturers subject to the EU Cyber Resilience Act. It is a reporting workspace for CRA Article 14, keeping readiness details, incident facts, human reportability decisions, and staged deadline tracking together in one case record per occurrence.
Open-source tools
Developer tools, frameworks, and programming languages published for the community.
WarpKit
WarpKit is a standalone Svelte 5 framework for single-page web applications. It organizes routing around explicit application states rather than simple URL patterns, providing a ten-phase navigation pipeline, modular authentication adapters, a caching data layer, and schema-validated forms.
Ori
Ori is a statically typed, expression-based systems programming language featuring value semantics and automatic reference counting in place of garbage collection or manual borrow checking. It compiles through LLVM to standalone native binaries across Windows, Linux, and macOS without a runtime dependency.
ori-term
ori-term is a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator written in Rust that integrates terminal emulation, multiplexing, and window management into a single application. It treats splits, tabs, floating panes, and multiple windows as core primitives rather than layered plugins.
OriJS
OriJS is a TypeScript backend framework for the Bun runtime, structured around modular architecture similar to NestJS but operating entirely without decorators or reflect-metadata. Modules, dependency injection providers, guards, and interceptors are configured through an explicit, type-safe fluent builder API.
Independent, founder-led software engineering
Elucidsoft was founded in 2010 by Eric Malamisura as a privately held software company in Virginia. Operating with long-term autonomy, we focus on sustainable software architecture, operational independence, and deep technical craft.
We develop two software lines: commercial SaaS products (Upstat, cloudlayer.io, and ActLume), and independent open-source technologies (WarpKit, Ori, ori-term, and OriJS). Revenue from our commercial products directly funds our ongoing work on open-source tools.
