The borrowed desk
Our first event viewer ran from a single machine in a shared studio.
We are the people keeping live work in motion.
Lantern Bureau began with a shared frustration: event systems were powerful, but operating them was needlessly opaque. We build calm infrastructure for streams that matter.
A small idea became a global relay.
Seven chapters from our first prototype to the systems teams use today.
Open protocol
We published the relay specification and welcomed its first contributors.
First 100 teams
Production streams crossed 48 million messages in one week.
North America
A Montréal hub brought support closer to customers across six time zones.
Managed relay
Teams could operate critical flows without managing underlying clusters.
Regional failover
Workloads gained predictable, observable recovery between regions.
Distributed by design, close by habit.
Working remotely from workshops, kitchens, and careful home offices.

The people who lit the first lamp.
Three operators who wanted event infrastructure to feel accountable.
Amina Farrow
Co-founder & CEO
Amina previously led platform strategy for logistics teams moving millions of time-sensitive records across Europe.
Louis Mercier
Co-founder & CTO
Louis has built streaming systems from early-stage prototypes through demanding, multi-region production estates.
Marek Dvořák
Co-founder & Chief Architect
Marek shaped the relay model that keeps workload ownership legible without slowing down experienced engineering teams.
Backed for the long route.
