RapidForge
Single-binary platform for internal tools, webhooks, APIs and scheduled scripts

RapidForge is a single-binary web server that turns scripts into production-ready internal tools, APIs, webhooks and scheduled jobs. It provides a web UI and visual page builder so teams can expose CLI tools and scripts as endpoints or pages without framework boilerplate.
Key Features
- Convert Bash or Lua scripts into HTTP endpoints and webhooks with environment-variable injection for request data
- Built-in cron-style scheduler with execution history, audit logs and job management
- Visual drag-and-drop page and form builder that maps form fields to script variables
- Embedded Lua VM for in-script logic and compatibility with existing shell tooling
- Secure credential storage and first-class OAuth flows; credentials auto-injected into scripts
- Single-binary deployment model with minimal runtime dependencies and straightforward Docker packaging
- Web UI for creating endpoints, scheduling jobs, managing logs and configuring auth
Use Cases
- Expose internal CLI tasks or monitoring scripts as authenticated HTTP APIs or webhooks
- Schedule backups, data exports or maintenance tasks and review execution history in the UI
- Build simple internal admin pages and forms that drive shell scripts or integrations
Limitations and Considerations
- Some features (key-value store) rely on a local SQLite runtime; administrators must ensure sqlite3 or equivalent is available when using packaged installers
- Project is lightweight and focused on internal tooling; it may lack enterprise-grade integrations or scaling features found in larger workflow platforms
RapidForge is best suited for teams that want to rapidly expose existing scripts as services or build small internal tools without adopting a full application stack. Its single-binary approach simplifies deployment and reduces operational overhead while providing built-in auth, scheduling and auditability.
