Launching soon — looking for early feedback
Hi everyone,
I’m getting ready to launch Inquir Compute.
It’s a serverless platform for AI agents, cron jobs, webhooks, and backend functions, with isolated containers, custom domains, and deployment on your own server.
I’d love feedback from anyone who has run into limits with managed serverless or edge runtimes.
A few questions I’d especially like help with:
- Does the value proposition make sense?
- What use case sounds most compelling?
- What would stop you from trying something like this?
- What feature would matter most in a first version?
Appreciate any thoughts.

Hello Aria
The value prop makes a lot of sense. Managed serverless hits real walls when you need isolation or custom domains, and most people only discover that after they're already in production. The cron jobs + webhook combo is especially relevant for AI agents that need to run reliably in the background. We've been building Hello Aria (AI assistant on WhatsApp/Telegram, launching April 10th on Product Hunt) and the infra layer for persistent event-driven agents is genuinely underserved right now. What's your story vs Modal or Fly.io? Those tend to be the first alternatives people reach for, curious how you think about the differentiation.

Thanks, that’s exactly the gap I’m focused on.
A lot of “serverless” works great until you need stronger isolation, background execution, custom domains, or more product-style routing. By that point, you’re already in production and the compromises become very real.
My view is:
Modal is great when compute is the center of the product.
Fly.io is great when you want flexible low-level app infrastructure.
Inquir Compute is for teams that want to run event-driven products and AI agents with less infrastructure assembly: webhooks, cron, HTTP endpoints, custom domains, and isolation as first-class building blocks.
So I think of it less as “another place to run code” and more as a higher-level runtime for persistent agent and automation workloads.
And Hello Aria sounds very much in that direction, I agree the infra layer for reliable background agents is still underserved.
