The Problem

Why Most MVPs Fail Technically

Startups often make critical technical mistakes early on that compound over time.

Poor architecture decisions that block scaling

No developer experience structure

Manual deployment processes

Tight coupling between frontend and backend

No containerization or reproducible environments

Technical debt from day one
