High-signal software, hand-finished
Scorpio Lab is a boutique studio focused on the Rust ecosystem — durable custom software with atelier care, not the factory floor.
02
Web & interfaces
Fast, typed UIs with Leptos and solid Axum backends. Instrument-grade product surfaces.
03
Data & storage
Pipelines and persistence with Polars, SeaORM, SurrealDB — correct, inspectable, fast.
04
Product engineering
From sketch to ship: architecture, implementation, and careful long-term stewardship.

Intelligent systems, purpose-built
We design and ship AI-backed software in Rust — agents, retrieval, and tool-using workflows that stay typed, inspectable, and production-ready.
01
Agent systems
Task-oriented agents with clear preambles, guardrails, and typed handoffs — built to run as real services, not demos.
02
Tools & actions
Connect models to your APIs and domain logic with structured inputs/outputs and compile-time checks where it counts.
03
Grounded knowledge
RAG and retrieval over your documents and stores so answers stay anchored to your data.
04
Multi-model pipelines
Provider-flexible completions, streaming UIs, and multi-step workflows — one coherent stack from prototype to production.

Why boutique
Small teams move with intention. Each engagement gets dedicated attention — every line of code treated with the same care as the architecture around it.
Whether you need a greenfield Rust service, a Leptos front end, or a careful modernization, we build software meant to last on the shelf — and in production.
