About Maelstrom AI
A security technology company building no-custody infrastructure for regulated environments.
No custody as a starting point
Most data solutions promise to protect your information after taking custody of it. We build systems that never take custody at all. downpipes restores your Cloudflare estate from backups only you can open. It never holds a copy we could lose, leak, or be compelled to hand over.
We work in an area where the usual approach creates the problem it claims to solve: disaster-recovery vendors holding a copy of everything you own. downpipes restores your estate without us holding what matters.
What we build
downpipes
No-custody backup and recovery for the Cloudflare data layer. Runs in your own account, sealed under keys only you hold. We never see your data. Learn more →
How we work
Open and auditable
The code you run is published so you can check it. downpipes is source-available with an MIT offline reader. Our security overview and legal terms are public. Trust built on code, not promises.
Signed, pull-only updates
The engine pulls a signed update channel and checks it against a pinned public key. It deploys an update only when the update's SHA-384 hash matches the channel. The apply is canary-gated, with automatic rollback.
Memory-safe foundations
TypeScript on the Cloudflare edge and a Go offline reader: both memory-safe languages.
One management system
Breach-notification and data-protection obligations, governed under one ISO 27001-aligned ISMS. We publish its summary and share the detail on request.
