We put great execution with great people ahead of great ideas

Our Journey


Great ideas are worthless without execution. Successful computer software is no different.

Regardless of how excellent a software idea is, it can never succeed without a reliable, robust and cost-effective system behind it.
At yyResearch, we never lack ideas, but deep down we know that we can never drive these ideas to fruition without good execution and good people. In pursuit of our mission to create systems that improve the efficiency of human interaction, we are hard at work developing a foundation platform that is reliable, secure, robust, massively scalable, and delivers high performance, high availability using minimal bandwidth at low running cost. We can support over 1 billion users with a daily transaction rate of 100 billion transactions across a spectrum of mobile devices. We cannot promise which of our ideas will become a great success, but we are using our foundation platform to explore multiple ideas quickly at low cost.
