Lutris Technologies, Inc. was an enterprise software and services company based in Santa Cruz, California.

Lutris was founded by Paul Morgan and Michael Browder, two ex-employees of the Santa Cruz Operation about 1995, initially under the name of Information Refinery, Incorporated (IRI).

The main business of the company was building web sites using the Java Platform, initially through consulting contracts.

The logo for Enhydra featured a sea otter with a cup of coffee (a further pun on the slang term "Java").

In January 1999 Lutris created an open-source software community of related projects including Enhydra Server.

In late 1999, Lutris had purchased InstantDB, a Java database management system distributed on a free-for-non-commercial-use basis developed Peter Hearty and a company called ICS.
