SaaS Launch Checklist Bundle

Everything the marketing launch guides DON'T tell you — infrastructure, security, deploy, notifications.

SaaS Launch Checklist cover

Overview

Search "SaaS launch checklist" and you find a dozen marketing guides: Product Hunt posts, email sequences, launch-week calendars. Useful — but they assume the product actually works when a stranger hands it a credit card.

This bundle is the other half. The technical checklist the marketing guides skip: infrastructure, security, deploy reliability, web push notifications, server maintenance, the launch-day runbook, and the post-launch monitoring routine.

Every chapter comes from a real pre-launch on a working SaaS. The scoring system, the six-week timeline, the scope freeze rule, the deterministic build protocol, the web push flow, and the server update playbook are all things that ran in production. Names changed; patterns preserved.

What's inside

CH 01

Pre-Launch Safety Assessment

The one-page three-column inventory every pre-launch team should write. Scoring heuristic, five-phase timeline, go/no-go gate with 13 criteria.

CH 02

6-Week Launch Roadmap

Day-by-day expansion of Phase 1-5. Concrete tasks, file lists, verification steps, scope freeze rule. No T-shirt sizes.

CH 03

Build Reproducibility Rules

Six rules for deterministic deploys that stop "works on my laptop, breaks in prod." Pre-commit checks, five-step pre-deploy protocol, immutable compose file.

CH 04

Web Push Notifications: End-to-End

Data model, push auth keys, four server-side rules, opt-in UX that takes opt-in from 10% to 60%+, iOS PWA footnote, admin broadcast design.

CH 05

Server Maintenance Playbook

Pre-launch 10-point check, the update ritual in four phases, rollback plans for every step, common bugs every maintenance window surfaces.

CH 06

Launch Day Runbook

T-1 through T+24h, minute-by-minute. Triage table for common failure modes. One rule for when to pause marketing.

CH 07

Post-Launch Monitoring Checklist

Who this is for

For you if

  • Early-stage SaaS founder shipping without a dedicated ops person
  • Solo builder launching a first paid product
  • Small team where DevOps is a rotating duty
  • Indie hacker who's seen enough launches to know the technical debt about to ship

Not for you if

  • Team at a company with a dedicated platform team — you already have an SRE runbook
  • Pure marketing or growth reader — this is engineering-side only
  • Looking for "launch in 48 hours" content — this book assumes you have six weeks

FAQ

Is this a marketing / PR launch checklist?

No. This is the technical launch checklist — infrastructure, security, deploy reliability, push notifications, server maintenance, post-launch monitoring. Product Hunt posts, launch-week calendars, email sequences, growth loops — all explicitly out of scope.

Does this overlap with the PRD Templates product?

Minor overlap on two chapters (pre-launch assessment and launch roadmap). The PRD Templates product summarizes them as ~5-page templates alongside 6 other templates. This product expands those two into daily-level detail and adds four chapters the PRD product doesn't have: build reproducibility, web push, server maintenance, and launch-day runbook.

Does this work on Windows (WSL) or Linux?

Yes. Every pattern is OS-agnostic or has cross-platform notes. Bash snippets work on any POSIX shell (Linux, macOS, WSL). Server examples assume Linux (the overwhelming majority of SaaS production targets).

I'm an EU business and need a VAT invoice.

Buy via Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record) — they issue compliant EU VAT invoices automatically. Gumroad does not issue EU VAT invoices; use LS if you need to expense this on a company card.

Which stack are the examples from?

A generic SaaS stack: TypeScript/Node, a SQL database, a cache, containerized runtime, a reverse proxy, a payment provider. Every pattern is abstracted — the shape generalizes to Rails, Go, Elixir, Python, whatever you ship with.

Will this help if I've already launched?

Yes — Chapter 4 (deterministic deploys), Chapter 5 (push), Chapter 6 (server maintenance), and Chapter 8 (post-launch monitoring) are all applicable after launch. If your launch happened in a hurry, Chapter 2 is also worth reading as a retroactive audit.

Can my team use one copy?

License is single-seat. Team license available on request — contact support at info@shippedstack.com.
