Where ideas compile into products.

Lab 2296 is an independent engineering lab by HaiNT — exploring edge runtimes, type-safe APIs and AI-native tooling, then shipping them as production-grade software.

01Capabilities

Everything a modern product needs, wired in from day one.

Every experiment in the Lab starts from the same production-ready foundation — fast at the edge, typed end to end and observable by default.

Edge-native runtime

Deploy once and serve every request from the nearest of 18 regions, with no cold-start tax.

hnd1Tokyo24ms
iad1Washington38ms
fra1Frankfurt41ms

Type-safe end to end

OpenAPI specs generate typed clients and Zod schemas, so the UI never guesses the shape of data.

// generated from openapi.yaml
const { data } = useGetCurrentUser();
//      ^? { user: User | null }

AI-native workflow

Agents review pull requests, triage logs and draft docs alongside the human in the loop.

Observability built in

Traces, metrics and logs are captured from the first request, not bolted on after an incident.

req/min138

Secure by default

Sensible defaults ship with every project, so security is the starting point rather than a checklist.

HttpOnly session cookies
Strict CSP headers
Rate-limited APIs
Dependency audit in CI
