Why 8 Weeks?
After building dozens of SaaS products for startups and enterprises alike, we've found that 8 weeks is the sweet spot for an MVP. It's long enough to build something meaningful, but short enough to maintain urgency and avoid over-engineering.
Week 1-2: Discovery & Architecture
Before writing a single line of code, we spend two weeks understanding your market, users, and core value proposition. This phase includes user story mapping, technical architecture decisions, and setting up the development environment.
Week 3-5: Core Development
This is where the magic happens. Using Ruby on Rails for rapid development, we build the essential features that define your product. Multi-tenancy, authentication, billing integration with Stripe — the foundation that everything else builds upon.
Week 6-7: Polish & Testing
With core features in place, we focus on user experience, performance optimization, and comprehensive testing. This includes load testing, security audits, and cross-browser compatibility.
Week 8: Launch
Deployment to production, monitoring setup, and launch support. We use Kamal for zero-downtime deployments and set up proper observability from day one.
