One connected system
Employee data, workflows and reporting should share context instead of creating new silos.
About HRlume
An independent HR platform built around clarity, ownership and useful workflows.
HRlume brings the core work of people operations into one modern system while keeping its architecture intentionally small and understandable.
The product today
A working platform, still early enough to be honest about its stage.
HRlume is an independent project built and run by an individual developer, rather than a registered company. It is currently offered free while the product moves toward general availability.
The platform already covers core HR, leave, recruiting, documents, assets, requests, surveys, reporting and performance management. The public site does not present invented customer logos, awards or case studies.
Engineered for performance
Built on the edge, not a legacy stack.
HRlume runs on Cloudflare Workers and D1 at the edge, with a zero-runtime-dependency codebase, so the product stays fast and easy to reason about as it grows.
EDGE
Cloudflare network
Workers, D1 and R2 — no origin server to keep warm.
ZERO
Runtime dependencies
A small, auditable, dependency-light codebase.
Product principles
What guides the way HRlume is built.
Security in the foundation
Authentication, permissions, auditability and private file delivery belong in the base product.
Useful before impressive
Features are built around complete workflows, not screenshots of isolated interface components.
Infrastructure ownership
Organisations that need it can run a dedicated instance inside their own Cloudflare account.
Transparent early access
The current free status and independent-project stage are stated directly in pricing and legal pages.
Small technical surface
A Cloudflare-native, dependency-light stack keeps the product easier to understand and maintain.
