About CochranBlock

The Mission

Your server bill is too high. CochranBlock exists to prove it — and fix it. This entire company runs as a single Rust binary on a laptop for $10/month. We build zero-cloud architectures that replace bloated infrastructure with lean, fast binaries. All source code released under the Unlicense.

What We Do

Fractional CTO services for startups and SMBs drowning in cloud costs. We audit your infrastructure, identify what you're overpaying for, and replace it with edge compute that you own. 8 open source Rust repos back every claim we make.

The Architecture

Single-binary Rust. Embedded assets. No external databases for static sites. Cloudflare tunnel for internet exposure. Total cost: a laptop and $10/month. We've built an augment engine, a reverse proxy, on-device AI models, a payment engine, and a testing framework — all running this way.

Founded By

Michael Cochran — Fractional CTO, Zero-Cloud Architect, Federal Whistleblower. 11+ years defense and enterprise. It's not the Mech — it's the pilot.
