What had to be solved first
PaceLayer needed to reduce setup complexity while shipping mVP launch in a reliable way suitable for a 2 person team organization.
How the team executed
Started from ShipAI.today defaults for auth, billing, and deployment-ready architecture.
Scoped the first release around one core flow: mVP launch.
Used a steady release cadence with clear boundaries across UI, API routes, and data model changes.
What changed after launch
“We replaced three disconnected repos with this boilerplate and removed a lot of brittle glue code.”
