LaunchFast
Your first database choice costs €0. Your second costs €50,000.
Every foundational decision is free to make and ruinously expensive to change. LaunchFast makes them correctly.
Foundational choices are free. Corrections are not.
Every foundational decision — database, auth, deployment — is free to make and ruinously expensive to change. On day one, all options look equal. By month six, one of them is wrong and load-bearing.
You pick Postgres because it seems right. Six months later you discover you need a different replication model, but your entire data layer assumes Postgres-specific features. The rewrite costs more than the product has earned.
You wire auth with a library that handles email/password well. Three months later you need OAuth, but the library stores sessions in a way that is incompatible with your new flow. The migration takes two weeks and breaks existing users.
Each mistake compounds. The database choice affects the ORM. The ORM affects the query layer. The query layer affects every feature you build. One wrong choice at the foundation propagates through every layer above it.
The cost of correction always exceeds the cost of getting it right the first time.
Why the first choice is the only affordable one
- 01Foundational choices are free to make.
- 02They become irreversible quickly as code builds on top of them.
- 03The cost of correction grows with every line that depends on the original choice.
- 04By the time the mistake is discovered, correction costs more than starting over.
- 05Therefore: the constraint is not flexibility. It is making the right choice first.
LaunchFast eliminates the most expensive category of mistakes: wrong foundational choices. Every decision in the template has been made deliberately, documented explicitly, and tested under real use. You pay €199 once instead of paying for a rewrite later.
Inspect before buying
The documentation is public. The source code is open-source. Inspect both before spending a cent. If you disagree with the approach, you have saved yourself €199.
What you receive
The template (free and open-source)
- A TypeScript Remix codebase with authentication, payments, and email — integrated and tested
- SQLite deployment — starts single-region, scales globally with Primary-Replica when you need it
- Documentation that explains every decision, including what was deliberately left out
The CLI (what €199 buys)
- Correct initialization — the template is inert until the CLI sets it up as a working founding state
- AI guardrails that constrain AI assistants to preserve your architecture — not just at setup, but on every change
The code is free. Correct initialization and ongoing architectural protection is what you are paying for.
€199
One-time payment
The alternative is weeks of research and architectural decisions that may still be wrong. The cost when they are wrong: a rewrite.
€199
One-time payment. No subscription.
After purchase, you can authenticate with the LaunchFast CLI — it sets up the open-source template correctly and installs the AI guardrails that keep your codebase correct as you build.
