Warpforge is a tool for building software and creating data pipelines, founded in content addressable primitives and aimed at happily operating in a decentralized environment — both in the sense of “on laptops as well as in datacenters”, as well as in the sense of “I share build instructions with friends, and we don’t need a monorepo to coordinate”. Along the way, we put may IPLD datastructures to use to obtain our goals — including some data structures which are used to create local solutions to the infamous decentralized naming problem.
