Build truly production-ready apps, modern JS, Based SAAS Stack for Indie Devs
summary
Claims a product fails without onboarding and support: a shipped React Native + Node app on Amazon ECS with a five-person team gets zero retention and the client goes bankrupt. Concrete fixes: two emails per week for three weeks, meaningful empty states and integrated chat support, use env vars, generate secure secrets, enable SSL and auto backups, set budget alerts. Recommended tools: Firebase, Sentry, Instabug, HubSpot, Stripe/Paddle, SendGrid, Supabase, Cloudflare, GitHub Actions, Fathom/Amplitude/Segment.
