Founders shipping an MVP
A real backend and database from day one, on a server you can hand to your first engineer.
The problem with prototype builders
The first version of a product built in a chat tool usually lives on that tool's shared infrastructure, in that tool's database, in a format only that tool can run. The day you raise money or hire an engineer, the first job is getting out.
What you get here
- A full-stack app, not a front end. Cloud projects come with a Node backend and a PostgreSQL database on a dedicated server.
- A server that is already yours. When you bring on an engineer, hand them the SSH key, not a migration project.
- A codebase they will recognise. A standard Vite + React + TypeScript project with a Node server. Export it as a ZIP or push it to GitHub whenever you want.
What to know
Dedicated servers are on paid plans and are billed as a flat monthly price per server size. The free plan is enough to build and preview; you will want a paid plan the week you have real users.
