1. The Genesis: From Bandung Declaration to Accredited Foundation
Lontarlab was officially declared and founded in January 2019 in Bandung, West Java by software architects Ferry Ristiwan (CEO) and Diki Andeas (CTO). What began as intensive late-night whiteboard architecture sessions quickly matured into a dedicated technology laboratory aimed at engineering high-rigor backend microservices, resilient database models, and cloud-native digital platforms. In 2020, Lontarlab achieved formal legal status as an accredited Foundation (Yayasan) in strategic alliance with Kuwais Group, united by shared values, high-velocity digital craftsmanship, and vocational education mentorship.
“To become an independent center of software engineering innovation that crafts world-class, dependable, and impactful digital products for global communities and enterprise industries.”
