FormKiQ Core

FormKiQ is a production-ready document management platform built on AWS serverless infrastructure that deployed in your AWS account. Deploy a complete API-first document layer alongside your application's data tier—handling storage, metadata, search, and access control without the complexity of building it yourself.

Who it’s for

• Teams building secure file workflows that must remain in their AWS accounts.
• Regulated workloads needing auditability, retention, and least-privilege access.
• SaaS platforms delivering per-tenant document storage with isolation and signed links.
• Ops/support teams needing fast search over PDFs and images without custom pipelines.

Capabilities at a glance

• Ingest via API Gateway, S3, or email; optional OCR pipeline for images/PDFs.
• Metadata and tagging for every document plus custom attributes.
• Full-text/OCR search and filters; show only what each user/tenant should see.
• Versioning, retention, and audit trails built-in; lifecycle controls via policies.
• Event hooks via Lambda/SNS/SQS/EventBridge to enrich, classify, notify.
• SDKs for Java and Python, plus OpenAPI for other languages.

Why teams choose FormKiQ

• Data and keys stay in your AWS account; IAM-first access control and audit trails.
• Built-in metadata/tagging, OCR search, versioning, and retention—no custom boilerplate.
• Serverless stack that auto-scales; no servers to patch or capacity to size.
• Multi-tenant ready and SOC 2–aligned design for regulated workloads.

Common use cases

• Records and retention vaults for HR, legal, and finance with audit trails and versioning.
• Intelligent ingestion: drop into S3/email/API, OCR + metadata tagging, and route via events.
• Compliance-focused file storage where data must remain in your AWS account with IAM-scoped access.
• Customer/partner file portals with per-tenant isolation and signed access links.
• Workflow enrichment: trigger Lambdas on uploads to classify, enrich metadata, notify via SNS/SQS/EventBridge.
• Searchable knowledge stores over PDFs/images for support and operations teams.

Deployment options

• Deploy to your AWS account via CloudFormation (Quickstart below).
• Evaluate in the hosted demo environment (read-only).
• Inquire about managed workspaces if you prefer a turnkey setup.

Quick Start

Architecture

Serverless on AWS: Lambda + API Gateway + S3 + DynamoDB + OpenSearch, with optional modules for OCR, Typesense, and event handling.

Project structure & commands

• Modules: lambda-* and lambda-*-graalvm functions, AWS adapters (aws-*), shared libs (fkq-*, http*, strings), console UI (console).
• Templates/assets: src/main/resources/cloudformation, docs/, images/, docker/.
• Build/test: ./gradlew clean build (full build + tests), ./gradlew test (tests only), ./gradlew spotlessCheck (format), ./gradlew licenseReport (license inventory).

Security, compliance, and scale

• Data, encryption keys, and access policies remain in your AWS account; IAM secures every interaction.
• Versioning and audit trails support retention and evidence needs for SOC 2/HIPAA-style controls.
• Serverless footprint scales with demand; designed for thousands of concurrent requests.

Client SDKs

• Java SDK — best for JVM backends.
• Python SDK — scripting/data workflows.
• TypeScript SDK — web and Node.js apps.
• Other languages via OpenAPI Generator using the published spec.
