Shipping today on ReadyShip
§ 01 — The Problem
Shipping your production-ready MVP shouldn't take six months.
Infrastructure takes forever
Setting up VPC, RDS, ECS, CI/CD, monitoring… three to six months before you write a single feature.
3–6 months wasted
Starting from scratch is risky
Authentication, testing, migrations, API structure. Every project reinvents the wheel — and bugs leak in everywhere.
Reinventing the wheel
Your dev team is stretched thin
Senior engineers burn cycles on boilerplate — auth flows, migrations, infra glue — instead of the features only they can build.
Bandwidth lost to plumbing
§ 02 — The Solution
Infrastructure + Codebase + AI Team.
Ready in 15 minutes.
Pillar 01
Production Infrastructure
AWS-native deployment. VPC, RDS, ECS, CloudFront, CI/CD. Everything you'd spend three months building, provisioned in your account.
Pillar 02
Battle-Tested Codebase
React Native + NestJS. Authentication, testing, migrations already built. Start shipping features on day one — not week eight.
Pillar 03
AI Development Team
Four AI agents write code, run tests, deploy changes. Create a ticket in plain English — the AI ships the feature.

Claude Sonnet 4.6
Latest Bedrock model. Billed to your account.
Why this matters: This isn't a toy template. It's the same architecture senior engineers spend two to three months building — proper separation of concerns, security best practices, scalability patterns, test coverage. You're getting $50k+ of engineering work, pre-built and tested.
§ 04 — Differentiator
Everything runs in your AWS account.
Not ours.
Your Data
Never leaves your AWS account. Full HIPAA & SOC 2 compliance possible.
Your Infrastructure
Complete CloudFormation source. Modify anything. No proprietary black boxes.
Your Codebase
Full git repository with all source. Fork it, customize it, own it forever.
Your AI Usage
Bedrock billed to your account. No vendor markup. Use your AWS credits.
→ Anti-lock-in
The opposite of vendor lock-in.
Most platforms lock you in. ReadyShip does the opposite.

§ 05 — Architecture
We made the hard choices.
So you don't have to.
Q.
Why React Native?
iOS + Android + Web from one codebase. Ship everywhere without maintaining three apps.
Q.
Why NestJS?
TypeScript end-to-end. Structured, scalable, maintainable. Not a mess of Express middleware.
Q.
Why PostgreSQL?
Battle-tested, ACID-compliant, handles complex queries. Not a NoSQL experiment.
Q.
Why ECS Fargate?
Auto-scaling containers without managing servers. Pay only for what you use.
Why this matters: These aren't trendy choices. They're boring, proven technologies that senior engineers pick for production systems. We chose stability over hype.
§ 06 — Codebase
Not a template.
A foundation.

vs. $2k–5k consult
AWS supports startups.
Put their credits to work.
50,000+ startups receive $25k–$100k in every year through accelerators, investors, and direct programs. Most only use a fraction — because they don’t have infrastructure ready before the credits expire. ReadyShip changes that.
Why most credits go unused
They expire fast
Most programs give 12–24 months. Sounds like plenty — until you realize AWS infra takes 3–6 months to build.
They only cover AWS services
Credits can't pay for engineering time. Your team still has to build the AWS infrastructure before any credits get used.
By the time you're ready, they're gone
Months 1–3 hiring. Months 4–6 building. Month 7 your credits expire. You spent $100k cash and used $5k in credits.

Customer story
"We had $100k in AWS Activate credits from YC. Tried to use them but had no infrastructure running — we paid engineers from runway to build AWS setup. ReadyShip deployed everything instantly. We've now used $87k of credits on actual infrastructure and AI development instead of letting them expire."

§ 13 — FAQ
The fine print, plainly.
Still uncertain? Reach the team via the AWS Marketplace contact form — average reply ~2h.
Can I really use AWS credits for ReadyShip?+
Yes. ReadyShip is on AWS Marketplace, so your hourly platform fee ($0.07 or $0.69/hr) counts as AWS spend. Credits cover the platform, all infrastructure (RDS, ECS, S3, etc.), and AI usage (Bedrock). Most YC and accelerator startups have enough credits to run ReadyShip for 12+ months at zero out-of-pocket cost.
What if my credits run out?+
The exact same bill switches from credits to your payment method. No service interruption, no repricing, no migration. You're already on normal AWS billing — credits just pay for it.
Do credits cover everything or just infrastructure?+
Everything. The ReadyShip platform fee ($0.07 or $0.69/hr), AWS services (RDS, ECS, S3, CloudFront), and AI usage on Bedrock are all AWS spend — credits apply to every line.
What are the actual total costs?+
ReadyShip has three components:
- — Platform fee: $0.07 or $0.69/hour (billed hourly via AWS Marketplace)
- — AWS Bedrock: $50–200/mo for AI agents (billed by AWS)
- — AWS infrastructure (Complete Stack only): $50–200/mo for RDS, ECS, S3, etc.
Typical total: $99–249/month (AI Only) or $597–897/month (Complete Stack). All covered by AWS credits.
Why is Bedrock billed separately?+
AWS Bedrock (Claude) runs in your AWS account, not ours. That means:
- — Direct AWS pricing, no markup from us
- — Your AWS credits apply to AI usage
- — Data sovereignty: AI runs inside your VPC
- — Exact AI cost visible in your AWS console
We charge only for the orchestration platform that manages the agents.
Can I estimate my Bedrock costs?+
Typical usage:
- — Light (1–2 features/wk): $50–80/mo
- — Medium (3–5 features/wk): $100–150/mo
- — Heavy (10+ features/wk): $200–300/mo
Bedrock charges per API call — it's pay-as-you-go, so you only pay for what you use.
Is the codebase really production-ready?+
Yes. This is the same architecture senior engineers build: proper error handling, security best practices, comprehensive tests, scalable patterns. It's not a toy starter template.
Can I customize the code?+
Absolutely. You get the full source code in your git repository. Modify anything. Add libraries. Change the architecture. It's yours.
How technical do I need to be?+
Zero technical knowledge to deploy. Create tickets in plain English and AI builds the features. If you have developers, they get full code access.
What if the AI agents make mistakes?+
The QA agent tests everything. Failed tests block deployment. You also get full git history — review or roll back any change.
Do I need to know AWS?+
No. One-click deployment handles everything. You still get the full CloudFormation source if you want to customize.
Does the AI team replace my engineers?+
No — it amplifies them. The squad handles boilerplate, tests, and migrations so your senior engineers spend their time on architecture, product depth, and the work only they can do. Teams that adopt ReadyShip ship 3–5× more features without growing headcount.
What happens if I cancel?+
Everything keeps running. Infrastructure stays in your AWS, code in your git repo, full source access. Just disconnect the AI agents and maintain it yourself — or hire devs.
Can I build multiple apps?+
Yes. Deploy as many as you want. Each gets its own infrastructure, codebase, and AI team.
What about database migrations as I grow?+
TypeORM migrations are set up. AI agents can write new migrations. Everything is version-controlled in git.
Is this actually used in production?+
Yes. Companies are running apps with thousands of users on ReadyShip infrastructure. Auto-scaling, database backups, monitoring — it's all there.
