Elastic services

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Each service is one key in openkbs.json. Enable it, deploy, done.

Functions

Node.js 24 on AWS Lambda. Deploy in seconds, scale to zero.

$ openkbs fn deploy api

Postgres

Neon, Aurora Serverless v2 or Postgres Flex. Connection string auto-injected.

$ openkbs postgres connection

Storage + CDN

S3 behind CloudFront. Upload, serve and presign from any function.

$ openkbs storage upload ./img.png

MQTT realtime

Pub/sub over WebSocket via AWS IoT Core, with presence and scoped tokens.

$ openkbs mqtt token -u 42

Email + mail hosting

Transactional email over SES, plus mailboxes and webmail on your domain.

$ openkbs email verify-domain example.com

Static sites

HTML, CSS and JS on S3 + CloudFront, with edge redirects and real 404s.

$ openkbs site deploy

Custom domains + DNS

Park a domain you own, provision TLS and manage records from the CLI.

$ openkbs domain add example.com

AI proxy

GPT, Claude and Gemini through one endpoint, paid in project credits.

$ curl proxy.openkbs.com/v1/models

Workers

On-demand EC2 with up to 64 cores for jobs that exceed Lambda limits.

$ openkbs worker run encode
Configuration

One config file. That's the whole infra.

Regions in the EU, US or Asia. Postgres engines from scale-to-zero to always-on Aurora. Edge redirects, security headers and cache rules for static sites. All declared in one file that lives in your repo.
