Boilerplate code for AWS infrastructure for SaaS projects

I started building a web app for a file storage API. After building the product, I lost interest in it, but realized that the infrastructure I had built could be of use to other people.

August 10, 2021 Launched the Marketing site

Use Gatsby JS to build it using a template developed and shared by a fellow indiehacker @keeg.

Added Stripe integration.

Now suffering the problem of shiny product+site but no visitors or customers. This has been a fun experience so far, but really excited for next stage!

July 15, 2021 Productized the code

Added documentation, comments and generally cleaned up the code. Added some helper scripts to make the usage of it as painless as possible.

Deployed the infrastructure myself a few times and recorded the screen during one of the deploys. Will use the recording on marketing site.

July 1, 2021 Came up with the idea

After working on a different project for a few weeks, I realized that the infratructure code I had written (terraform and Serverless Framework) could be useful to other people.

Going to productize it and start sharing my journey here. Wish me luck and drop by to say hi!
