I used to think uptime was the main promise of infrastructure.
Vanar made me realize continuity is the harder promise.
Plenty of systems stay “up” while quietly changing their behavior underneath you. Interfaces drift. Guarantees soften. What used to be safe becomes “mostly safe” and nobody can point to the exact moment it happened.
What’s interesting about Vanar’s approach is how much it seems to care about keeping yesterday’s expectations valid tomorrow. Not by freezing progress, but by treating compatibility as something you actively protect, not something you hope for.
Continuity isn’t exciting.
But it’s the difference between a platform you visit and a platform you build a business on.
