FormKiQ Core

Our core product, an open source DMS that is free for both personal and commercial use. FormKiQ Core provides essential document management functionality using a flexible and scaleable headless and serverless application model.

FormKiQ Core is designed to be quick, simple, and worry-free

FormKiQ Core installs with a simple, one-click installation into your AWS Cloud account (with one additional configuration command). It runs as serverless infrastructure, meaning that you pay only for at-rest storage and when the system is used, and that for most personal and small business usage, you might be able to function entirely within the AWS Free Tier.

While FormKiQ Core can stand on its own as a Document Management System, the real power of this DMS is its flexibility and customization. Not only do you have full access to the source code, including the Document API and Document Console, but you can integrate directly with FormKiQ's created AWS resources, such as the Staging Document Bucket in Amazon S3 and the Document Metadata stored in Amazon DynamoDB.

For example, you can use AWS AppSync to add a GraphQL API to interface with FormKiQ's DynamoDB NoSQL Database table.

But for most customization, you can use the FormKiQ Document API or the FormKiQ JavaScript Client SDK.

FormKiQ Core includes all of the following features:

Document Collection and Storage

  • Scaleable Document Storage

  • FormKiQ JavaScript Client SDK, for HTML Web Forms and other front-end applications
