Analysis
What edge runtimes actually change about request handling
A practical account of the constraints edge runtimes impose, and which familiar server-side assumptions stop holding when you move there.

2SVII is an independent engineering and research platform building developer technologies, electronic systems, infrastructure tools and technical knowledge.
00 — Purpose
Modern products depend on layers of engineering that most people never see. Behind every application, connected device and digital platform are systems, protocols, libraries, circuits, infrastructure and years of technical knowledge.
2SVII works within those layers. We research how technology functions, develop reusable tools and systems, experiment with emerging ideas and publish what we learn.

Editorially Reviewed Contribution
Measuring firmware power draw without a lab bench
A contributor's method for getting usable sleep-current measurements from battery-powered firmware using commonly available equipment.
Technical ArticleBeta
Drift — a synchronisation engine for unreliable connectivity
A TypeScript library implementing per-field conflict resolution with vector clocks, extracted from the offline synchronisation research.
Research
Offline Synchronisation for Intermittently Connected Applications
A conflict resolution strategy for mobile clients that spend long periods offline, evaluated against three months of field traces.
Research
Research built for understanding and application.
Our research examines technical problems across software, systems, electronics, infrastructure and applied engineering. We publish our methods, findings, limitations and supporting artifacts so that our work can be examined, reproduced and developed further.
Builds
From technical questions to working artifacts.
2SVII Builds documents the engineering process behind our work: prototypes, architecture decisions, circuits, software tools, failed experiments, revisions and the final systems produced through our research and development.
Journal
Engineering knowledge, documented clearly.
The 2SVII Journal publishes research, technical analysis, tutorials, project documentation and informed reporting on engineering and technology. Alongside our own work, we feature selected contributions from people developing meaningful technical ideas and systems.
Engineering the foundations behind technology.
We publish selected work from engineers, developers, researchers and students. Every submission passes through an editorial process appropriate to its category before publication.
