SaaS MVP Development — Spec to Launch in 6-10 Weeks
Production-grade SaaS MVPs end-to-end: product strategy, UI/UX, full-stack engineering, billing, infrastructure, and post-launch support. Funded startups pick us when speed-to-market matters but compromise on Phase-2 architecture isn't acceptable.
Included in Every MVP (the foundation Phase-2 builds on)
- Multi-tenant architecture (row-level / schema-level / DB-level isolation depending on scale)
- User authentication (email, SSO, Google, Microsoft, SAML, biometric for mobile)
- Role-based access control (RBAC) with org → team → user hierarchy
- Subscription billing (Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee) — plans, trials, upgrades, dunning, proration- Admin dashboard (user management, plan management, usage analytics, impersonation)
- Customer-facing dashboard with the core feature set built out
- Transactional email (Postmark, SendGrid, Resend) + onboarding sequence
- Onboarding flow with milestone tracking
- Settings, billing portal, team management
- Public API + webhooks for integrations
- Production deployment + monitoring + alerting
- 30 days post-launch support

Our 5-Phase MVP Process
1. Strategy & PRD (Week 1) — Workshop to define problem, target user, must-have features (MoSCoW), success metrics, KPIs
2. Design Sprint (Week 1-2) — User journey maps, wireframes, hi-fi Figma, dev-ready handoff
3. Sprint Development (Week 2-7) — Two-week sprints, weekly stakeholder demos, builds on every merge
4. Beta + Iteration (Week 7-9) — Pilot users invited, in-app feedback widgets, hot-fix sprints
5. Production Launch (Week 9-10) — Hardening, security audit, performance tuning, public launch, monitoring
SaaS-Specific Engagement Models
- Fixed-Price MVP — Standard 6-10 week scope locked. Best for first-time founders with a clear spec
- Dedicated SaaS Team (post-MVP) — Engineer + designer + PM + DevOps as a continuous unit for Phase-2+ scaling
- Hybrid (Most Popular for Funded Startups) — Fixed-price for MVP, then dedicated team for Phase-2 roadmap
- Fractional CTO + Team — For non-technical founders who need senior architecture + execution
SaaS-Specific QA
- Multi-tenancy testing — Row-level security tests, data isolation verification across tenants
- Billing integration testing — Test Stripe webhooks in all states (trial start, upgrade, downgrade, cancel, payment failure, dispute)
- Permission testing — RBAC matrix tests (which role can access which endpoint / UI element)
- Load testing — k6 / JMeter to validate concurrent-tenant scalability
- Security audit — OWASP Top 10, dependency scan, secret scanning, SOC2-aligned controls
- Data migration testing — When schema changes, validate zero-downtime migration with rollback path
- Stripe test mode coverage — All billing flows tested with Stripe test cards before production
SaaS Deployment & Release Cycles
- Bi-weekly sprint releases — Feature flags allow gradual rollout per tenant
- Database migrations — Forward-and-backward compatible, online schema changes (no downtime)
- Multi-environment — Dev → Staging → Production with realistic test data
- Tenant-level feature flags — LaunchDarkly, Split, Unleash for per-tenant feature gating
- Subscription event handling — Stripe webhook idempotency, dead-letter queues, manual replay tooling
