Show HN: FormKiQ – Open-Source Headless Document Management for Developers

We (my cofounder and I) have built a lot of custom applications over the years. We found that this process was always the same.

1) Collect data from users and create a place to store it in (database, filesystem, etc) 2) Organize the data we've collected, so you can find it later 3) Process the data we've collected. Processing could include transforming the data, performing an action or sending the data to another system

This led us to create FormKiQ.

FormKiQ is a platform application that gives developers 100% control of their data, letting them automatically perform actions on the data through an event messaging architecture.

We’ve built FormKiQ with AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. The reason for this is that we wanted a system that didn’t require any configuring and managing of servers, and we also wanted a system we could both scale automatically in periods of high usage and cost next to nothing when barely being used.

We have found a lot of use cases for FormKiQ so far, and we wanted to share it with the HN community for ideas and to maybe even find a few people willing to try it out for their specific needs. We are still early in our development and looking for any kind of feedback!
