With Blitzship you'll get a comprehensive and battle-tested code repository with everything built in to run a SaaS business: Payments systems, databases, authentication, landing pages, documentation websites, and more. All hosted on AWS through infrastructure as code.

• Full-stack solution with multiple frontends, payment systems, database integrations, secure authentication with 80+ OAuth providers, and everything you need to get started building your business right away

• Serverless Infrastructure as code so all your databases, serverless functions, frontends etc, are version controlled and managed in a central place (your repo) by a few lines of code. No need log into the AWS console and no need to worry about scaling

• Extensive documentation with step-by-step guides and video tutorials to get you blitzshipping your SaaS startup in no time

Some of you may have bought website templates before (say Webflow, WordPress, Envato etc.). Now, while blitzship includes a full landing page and documentation website, it's really so much more than that.

• You'll get a truly full-stack solution with multiple frontends, payment systems, database integration, authentication, and everything you need to get started with your SaaS business. All code is yours so you can freely reuse it for multiple projects.

• With a traditional website template you'll simply get a design. With blitzship you'll get an array of expertly pieced together technologies, all hosted on AWS, to get you started with your tech business straight away. Think of Blitzship as your technical co-founder that makes sure your SaaS is set up for future success.

The core idea of this boilerplate was was to combine AWS's core strenghts like unlimited scalability and unbeatable prices, with a superior developer experience like vercel. Blitzship also follows a batteries-included approach, so you'll get everything you need to ship the MVP of your SaaS right away.
There is absolutely no magic in Blitzship, just a bunch of code to make all of these tools work well together.

• All code utilzes TypeScript for compile time checks and Zod for runtime validation allowing full type-safety across your front- and backend. Never define the same types twice and reuse everything across your monorepo codebase.

• All infrastructure is added within your codebase and fully managed by AWS. We have already set up a DynamoDB as your application database, AWS S3 Storage Buckets for file uploads, AWS Lambda Serverless Endpoints for your backend and webhook code, AWS Route 53 for your domain hosting, and AWS SES for cost-effective and easy transactional email sending

• The landing page as well as the SaaS app are built with NextJS and Mantine for a superb and developer experience. While the landing-page is optimized for SEO and conversion, the SaaS app is built with a focus on developer experience and scalability, utilzing tRPC for type-safe and authenticated API calls, virtualized tables and infinite scrolling behaviours.

• Other technologies include pnpm with turborepo as the perfect package manager for monorepos, react email for styling transactional emails, electroDB to interact with your DynamoDB database in a type-safe way, Auth.js with a DynamoDB adapter for great authentication and jest + vitest for easy and maintainable testing.

Of course you can. As long as you have some experience writing code, and the motivation to dive into the AWS ecosystem, you'll be fine.

• The code itself, as well as the documentation, provide best practices for all of the used technologies

• You'll get tons of ressources to get you started, including documentation, step-by-step guides, reference links, pre-built components and a fully commented codebase

• Take this as a learning opportunity to learn how to built the most scalable, cost-effective and maintainable SaaS apps on AWS. Without relying on middlemen like Vercel, Firebase, DigitalOcean, Heroku etc. and without compromising on speed and ease of setup

• Of course the code is 100% yours, so feel free to switch out any component you wish. Don't like Stripe? Rather use Svelte over React? Remix over Next? All those components can be switched up easily with a few lines of code in your infrastructure folder

Absolutely! I'd argue that this might actually be the best way to get started with AWS as the founder of a SaaS business.
Also, except for registering for an account at AWS and buying a domain for your business, you don't really need to interact with the AWS console that much. The idea of this codebase is to manage your infrastructure as code. So if you know how to use TypeScript, you'll be fine. The guides in the docs will make sure of that.

Simple answer: No. Blitzship is a product for developers.

However, feel free to use it as a starting point to understand how production-ready businesses are built from scratch. People with little experience have used this codebase to build their first SaaS business, so you will likely be able to do so as well.

I've poured years of experience as a software engineer in startups into this codebase. You'll really get the optimal technological setup for your SaaS business - period. With Blitzship, you'll set up the foundations for your business to scale and succeed, now and in the future.

• Think of me as your technical co-founder. I won't just send you a nice website design. I've prepared the foundations of your SaaS business for you.

• Your infrastructure cost will be fully dependent on usage (with generous free-tiers). No monthly fees, no cost explosions after a threshold, no surprises. Costs will never explode like in the stories you've heard about Vercel.

• Should your business blow up and receive millions of users, your AWS infrastructure will scale up automagically. No headaches guaranteed. Each component is capable of handling millions of requests without the need for maintenance.

Once your payment has gone through, you will receive an email with your private clone command. It will allow you to pull from a private repository. Make sure to save this command somewhere safe.

You shouldn't. Biltzship is a full-stack solution including decisions about how the infrastructure is set up, managed and hosted. However, feel free to use bits of the code if you need it elsewhere.
