Valar is a purpose-built function-as-a-service platform, designed from the very beginning to be extremely low maintainenance and easy to self host.

I have been using the platform in its current state since 2020, thus it has been continously running for about half a decade now. As it has served me very well and running the platform for other users is not economically viable, I have decided to make the entire project open-source by the end of 2025.

Why only end of 2025? There's a fair amount of things left to make the project as accessible as possible: Building out the documentation and onboarding guide, publishing a series of blog posts on core concepts and design internals as well as figuring out a scalable distribution model. If you're interested, I'd highly recommend subscribing to my personal blog.
