Labs is where our engineers get dedicated hours to poke at whatever's interesting: new runtimes, weird hardware, tools nobody asked for yet. Some of it ships to clients. Some of it just lives here.
A tiny agent that maps serverless cold-start latency across providers, in real time.
A plan-explainer that turns Terraform diffs into a sentence a human can approve without squinting.
Yes, really. Started as a joke about "the cloud," became a genuine ambient-sensor project.
Shifts batch workloads across regions to chase the cheapest spot instances, safely.
An on-call bot that tried to be too clever. Retired with honours, lessons kept.
An internal scaffolding tool for new client environments — now the base of every engagement we run.
"Labs isn't a innovation theatre. If it's not useful or fun in six months, it gets archived, not celebrated."
— Nuclei Labs, house rule #1
Stickers, dev boards, and the odd rack-mounted weather station. Everything in the shop started as a Labs project.
