Inquir

Inquir is a self-hosted serverless platform that lets you deploy and run AWS Lambda-compatible functions on your own infrastructure. It supports Python and Node.js runtimes and can be deployed on cloud services or on-premise servers. The platform provides full infrastructure control while maintaining compatibility with existing AWS Lambda workflows, making it a practical alternative for teams wanting to avoid cloud vendor lock-in or reduce costs while keeping their serverless architecture.

The platform includes an HTTP API Gateway with flexible routing options, multiple authentication methods, and built-in CORS support. It features visual function pipelines for orchestrating multi-step workflows with sequential execution and error handling. Built-in observability comes through OpenTelemetry integration, providing metrics, distributed tracing, and configurable alerts via Slack, email, or webhooks.

Inquir is ideal for development teams and DevOps engineers who need to maintain control over their serverless infrastructure while preserving compatibility with existing AWS Lambda codebases. It works well for organizations migrating from cloud serverless services to self-hosted solutions, building complex function workflows, or deploying backend APIs where infrastructure transparency and control are priorities. The platform is currently in beta and free to use.
