Trusted-CGI – lightweight self-hosted lambda/applications/cgi/serverless-functions engine

Trusted-CGI is a lightweight runner for lambda functions/apps in CGI like mode.

The process flow is quite straightforward: one light daemon in the background listens for requests and launches scripts/apps on demand. An executable reads standard input (stdin) for request data and writes a response to standard output (stdout).

Technically any script/application that can parse STDIN and write something to STDOUT should be capable of execution.

Trusted-CGI is designed keeping in mind that input and output data is quite small and contains structured data (json/xml), however, there are no restrictions on the platform itself (see “Limits” tab in Lambda UI).

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• No specific requirements: just one binary. Working “as-is”.
• One-click new lambda with public link and handler. Available immediately.
• Rich API.
• Security: user switch, IP restrictions, Origin restrictions, tokens ….
• Time limits.
• Permanent links (aliases).
• Actions – independent instruction that could be run via UI/API on server.
• Scheduler: run actions in cron-tab like style.
• Queues and retries.
