The name "Spark" already refers to:
A popular data analytics framework of the Apache Foundation: https://spark.apache.org/
A subset of the Ada programming language used for formal verification: https://learn.adacore.com/courses/intro-to-spark/chapters/01...
An Nvidia AI development system: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/products/workstations/dgx-spark...

Spark is the first step in a larger project I'm building called VeloroLABS.
The Problem: The Cyberdeck scene right now is amazing but purely hardware-focused. It runs on enthusiasm, glue code, and disjointed scripts. There is no unified "Edge OS" or software ecosystem designed specifically for these portable, hacked-together rigs.
The Vision: I want to fix this by building both the Software (tools like Spark) and eventually the Hardware (budget-friendly, modular cyberdecks). My goal is to make cyberdecks a legitimate, productive platform, not just a Reddit aesthetic.
Spark fits in by solving the "how do I ship code to this thing?" problem. It turns any device into a deployment target without needing Kubernetes or heavy runtimes.
Tech stack:
Rust (Tokio, Axum) Custom binary protocol over TLS UDP auto-discovery (zero-config networking) Built-in reverse proxy (no Nginx needed) I'm 18 and doing this parallel to university. Feedback on the architecture (or the vision) is highly appreciated!
