prefix.dev GmbH

prefix.dev GmbH builds Pixi, an open source package manager used as a developer tool by scientists and professionals. The tool sits on the software side of the hardware/software boundary: it manages the environments in which computational work runs, with an emphasis on reproducible environments and cross-platform dependency resolution. For robotics and embedded-adjacent engineering teams, that problem is familiar - simulations, perception pipelines, and data-processing toolchains all depend on environments that resolve the same way on a workstation as on a deployment machine.

Pixi is adopted across a wide range of users, from small startups to the largest experiments on the planet; CERN is among the notable users. The engineering culture is open source oriented and community-driven, with a focus on serving scientists and professionals working in scientific research, high-energy physics, academia and research institutions, and software development.

The company's technical domains are package management, developer tools, open source software, scientific computing, and reproducible environments. prefix.dev GmbH has a global geographic presence.
