I audited Series A startups. Here is the $100K mistake they all make.

Every single client I worked with had the same "disaster" waiting to happen. They were spending thousands on growth while their backend was held together by duct tape and hope. I saw one founder lose $100k in a single weekend because their stack buckled under a successful Product Hunt launch.

The Problem As builders, we’re told to "move fast and break things." But most founders have no idea when things are actually going to break. They don't know if their current setup can handle 10x traffic or if a single API failure will take down their entire checkout flow.

Usually, you only find out you’re at the limit when the PagerDuty alerts start screaming at 3 AM.

The Solution I got tired of seeing the same wreckage, so I built a tool to solve it.

I’ve spent my nights coding a 2-minute Infrastructure Audit. It’s not a bloated enterprise tool—it’s a lean script that analyzes your current stack and gives you a "Resilience Score." It flags exactly where your "single points of failure" are before they cost you a month of runway.

The Ask (Why I’m here) I’m opening this up to the Indie Hackers community first because you guys are the best at breaking things (and fixing them).

I don't want your money—I want your brutally honest feedback. I’m looking for 20 beta users to run the audit and tell me:

Is the "Resilience Score" actually accurate for your stack?

Did it find a bottleneck you didn't know existed?

What’s the one feature that would make this a "must-have" before a big launch?

Meta: Why I’m building this in public I’m tired of the "vague-posting" on LinkedIn. I want to build something that actually keeps sites online when they’re finally getting the traction they deserve. If you’ve ever had an outage during a peak growth moment, you know how much that stings.

Drop a comment below if you want the beta link. I’ll be hanging out in the comments to talk infra horror stories.
