About
Document infrastructure should behave like the rest of your application stack.
Solid Relay exists for teams that need a clearer PDF delivery path without taking on the operational burden of building and maintaining rendering infrastructure themselves.
The product is built around a simple idea: document workflows become much harder to own once they affect billing, customer communication, compliance, or support. They need clearer infrastructure, not more improvised browser jobs and ad hoc scripts.
Why Solid Relay
PDF delivery becomes painful when it is important enough to matter but still treated like a side job.
Many teams start with a basic render path and gradually inherit browser maintenance, queue cleanup, retry logic, storage questions, and support incidents. Solid Relay is meant to take that work out of the critical path and turn it into infrastructure that stays understandable as usage grows.
Who it serves
Product and platform teams shipping invoices, statements, reports, contracts, confirmations, and exports that customers or internal teams actually depend on.
Principles
The product is shaped around correctness, operations, and adoptability.
The goal is not to make document generation look flashy. The goal is to make it easier to trust, easier to support, and easier to expand once the workflow becomes part of the real product.
Operating view
Start with one document path that is critical to the business, validate it in live use, then expand from there.
Rendering should be clear enough to be treated as part of the product.
Consistent document output matters when invoices, statements, onboarding packets, or confirmations are visible to customers and tied to revenue or support.
Queueing, retries, and throughput should not live in ad hoc scripts.
Document systems need the same operational clarity, limits, and failure visibility as the rest of your application stack.
Teams should be able to start narrow and expand without replacing the model.
Integrate one workflow first, then grow into templates, scheduled runs, and higher volume without a second rewrite later.
