Help for non-technical founders and junior devs: Validate my idea
Hello everyone!
My name is Luca and I've been working on a side project for a few weeks that I’d like to launch aimed at helping non-technical Founders and junior developers with little DevOps experience.
Landing page: https://dawnvox.com (sign up to waitlist if you wish)
But would love to get some feedback before I go too deep down the rabbit hole.
The Problem:
In my experience, and perhaps yours, navigating the complexities of deploying, managing, and scaling applications on AWS is complicated even for those with experience.
Many inexperienced devs and non technical founders might start with AWS because they know it’s good but often make a mess when it comes to security, scalability and cost.
This is a problem for Bootstrapped businesses so often times things just get left until there is a problem. Of course there are many products that automate things deployments, application monitoring etc.
But the challenge I find with these tools is as follows:
- They often require technical expertise to set up
- Are expensive products in their own right- Don’t tend to offer a comprehensive suite of functionality, the kind that small startups need. Im thinking everything bundled together. Monitoring, analytics, bug tracking, deployments, backups etc..
- Few tools allow you to deploy directly into your own AWS
- Businesses start using AWS + paying for these tools but then don’t know who to ask for help as the business grows.
My Idea:
What I’m working on is a tool that straight up builds and deploys web applications straight into your AWS account with all the best practice features out of the box.
Then everything is taken care of:
- CI/CD
- Backups
- Auto scaling
- Live dashboard with valuable metrics
- Ability to block IPs
- Error monitoring/ Traffic monitoring
- Ssh access if they need
- Proactive suggestions for following best practices based on your current account set up
- Database set up with secure access from your local environment
I have more features in mind for later. Please be brutally with your thoughts!
Does anyone have this problem?
Would you pay for it to be solved, and how much?
