Space Duck is open source
The entire backend — Lambda functions, DynamoDB schema, auth flows, Peck Protocol, and cert issuance — is public on GitHub under the MIT licence.
Serverless backend
All business logic lives in a single Lambda function (~2000 lines, Python). Deployment is a single aws lambda update-function-code command. No servers, no containers, no orchestration needed.
One-command deploy
Follow the INSTALL.md checklist: create Cognito User Pool, DynamoDB tables, Lambda function, API Gateway, and SES domain verification. Estimated setup time: 30–60 minutes.
Read INSTALL.md →Full Peck Protocol
The complete Peck Protocol is in the source: token issuance, validation, expiry, revocation, and audit logging. Fork it, study it, modify it — it's yours.
Protocol docs →Cost-effective self-hosting
At low-to-medium traffic, a self-hosted Space Duck deployment costs under $5/month on AWS (Lambda free tier, DynamoDB on-demand, SES per-email pricing). No vendor lock-in.

Use Space Duck in commercial products, modify it, redistribute it, or build your own SaaS on top. The only requirement is preserving the copyright notice.
Read the licence →CHANGELOG & versioning
Every Lambda version corresponds to a tracked change. Lambda v1–v54 are documented in the API changelog. Galaxy versions (1.0 → 1.1 → 1.2) map to milestone bundles.
