Aurora

In Progress

A SaaS platform built end to end — backend architecture, hosting infrastructure, and SEO-driven growth — with the build documented in public as it happens.

The problem

Most SaaS tools either ship fast and ignore infrastructure until it breaks, or over-engineer before there are any real users. Aurora is being built as a deliberate middle ground — backend architecture that's solid from day one, without slowing down how fast the product itself can move.

The approach

Self-hosted infrastructure on Linux, containerized with Docker so every service stays isolated and reproducible, fronted by Caddy for clean TLS and routing. DNS and edge handled through Cloudflare. SEO is being treated as an infrastructure concern too — not bolted on after launch, but designed into the routing and content structure from the start.

Where it stands

Core infrastructure is live; product features and SEO tooling are actively in progress. This page — and the devlog below — will keep updating as Aurora moves forward.
