We may want to get in touch with each other. We have an Open Core document management platform that runs in AWS; I'm not sure about your roadmap, but there may be something there that's of use: https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core
Ask HN: Best document storage solution in 2023 | Mar 2023
One possibility is to use our open-core document management API build to deploy in your AWS account: https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core

The files are stored in S3, with customizable metadata storage in DynamoDB. As the system is designed to run on AWS Serverless and Managed Services, the majority of the cost will come from S3 storage fees.

API first designed document management system that deploys to AWS. Makes it easy to run standalone or to add Document Management functionality to existing applications.

Why Open Core Is Dead | Jul 2022
The first point covered, giving away your core IP, is definitely one that resonates with me. We went open core with our headless document management system (https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core), and there is always a worry in the back of my mind that we are providing such a solid foundation with the open core/source components that we may be undercutting our enterprise modules.

But on the other hand, I don't know that we're popular enough for someone to come along and build free modules on top of our product. So maybe this isn't a problem we'd need to worry about.

Until it is... ??

Show HN: FormKiQ – Open-Source Headless Document Management for Developers | Jan 2021
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!
