The problem

In the fast-paced world of software development, time is of the essence. For product and development teams striving to bring their SaaS applications to market efficiently, the challenges can be numerous and daunting. Without the aid of a powerful tool like ShipFast.dev, teams may find themselves grappling with a host of issues that hamper their progress and hinder their ability to deliver high-quality products on time.

Below you can find some common problems that product and development teams can face when embarking on SaaS application development without the benefits of ShipFast.dev:

Increased development time​

Developing a SaaS application from scratch without a boilerplate codebase can be time-consuming. Teams would need to write code for common functionality, such as payments, subscriptions, and CRUD operations, which could significantly slow down the development process.

Lack of reusability​

Without a boilerplate, teams would need to reinvent the wheel for each SaaS application they build. They would have to write custom code for common components, resulting in a lack of reusability and increased development effort for subsequent projects.

Infrastructure setup complexity​

Setting up the infrastructure for a SaaS application can be a complex task. Without a ready-to-use infrastructure provided by the boilerplate, teams would need to spend time configuring and deploying infrastructure components manually, leading to potential errors or misconfigurations.

Absence of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD)​

CI/CD is a crucial aspect of modern software development. Without a boilerplate that includes CI/CD capabilities, teams would need to set up these processes from scratch, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Limited scalability​

Scaling a SaaS application to handle increasing user loads can be challenging without a boilerplate that offers auto scaling features. Teams would need to design and implement their own scaling mechanisms, which may not be as efficient or reliable.

Reduced focus on core business​

Without the time-saving benefits of a boilerplate, development teams would need to spend more time on non-core functionality, such as infrastructure setup and generic feature implementation. This can detract from their ability to focus on the unique value proposition and core business features of the application.

What is ShipFast.dev?​

ShipFast.dev is a fully functional codebase that allows you to radically decrease the time your team spends on developing a SaaS application. Your development can re-use common components and focus on the core of your business.

It consists following architecture modules:

Why use ShipFast.dev?​

  • Application is business agnostic - business logic is abstracted away which empowers engineers to extend them or to remove them completely without breaking the application.

  • Enables the team to rapidly build and ship new bespoke features or to extend already existing ones.

  • Contains ready to use infrastructure components that are common in most of the web applications.

  • It’s safe and can handle standard medium size application load using auto-scaling feature
