Fix & Rescue: Saving a Broken MVP

SaaS Starter

01The Challenge

A solo founder built a lead intake system using AI-generated code. It worked for 10 users, but at 100, the database connections were timing out and lead emails were vanishing into the void. The 'vibe code' foundation was crumbling just as they reached product-market fit.

02The Solution

We performed a 48-hour rescue mission. We swapped out the fragile connection pooling, optimized the Next.js API routes, and implemented a robust queue system for lead notifications. We also fixed 12 critical UI bugs that were causing users to drops off mid-funnel.

03The Result

The platform now handles 1,000+ concurrent users with zero downtime. Lead capture rate increased by 65% simply because the 'submit' button actually worked every time.
