About Us

Cosmic is part of Notioneer, Inc. Founded in 2013, we’re located in Denver, Colorado, elevation 1 mile.

Backstory

We’ve been in your shoes, excitedly drawing up plans for a new application, only to get bogged down writing backend boilerplate code: user accounts, passwords, SSO, permissions, the list goes on. You probably know the drill all too well.

You see, before AuthRocket we began development on an unrelated web app, determined to focus on the core-business related parts of the project. To save time, we’d use cloud services for everything else. It was a good plan, except… except we couldn’t find anything viable for authentication and user management. In response, we designed a reusable authentication API for ourselves.

Turned out, it wasn’t just for us and we were far from alone. Other developers also wanted what we had built. AuthRocket was born.

Growing up

AuthRocket’s grown up a lot since those early days. It’s hard to believe now, but we launched without social logins. Or two-factor auth.

Along the way, our internal systems also grew and matured. We had a vision to expand and needed a central portal for subscribing and managing a growing suite of services.

Meet Cosmic. Both a unifying brand and a variety of business and technical components, Cosmic is the umbrella for most of what we offer today.

Expansion

Not too long after Cosmic’s arrival, we added DNScaster, our managed DNS service with an intuitive interface, dedicated IPs per customer (in a multitude of global cities), advanced traffic routing (by uptime, geo-location, and more), and ultra quick DNS updates.

The next launch was CertFu, for automating TLS certificate management via the now ubiquitous ACME protocol. CertFu brings ACME to your own Private CAs, making it dead simple to issue your own private certs throughout your infrastructure.

What’s next

As they say, the story’s not over. Far from it. We have more services in the incubator and look forward to sharing them with you when ready. Stay tuned!
