#2Tomek has created tons of great OSS projects in the past, and now he is at it again.
LetsGo gives you a set of core services you need for pretty much any SaaS startup.

Re: LetsGo – A new starter kit for starting startups
#4Thanks, folks! LetsGo is a result of having worked on a few startups that struggled with addressing the technical debt created during early development, where all priorities were aligned with getting the product out there. As a result, shortcuts were made that were much more expensive to address later, to the point of stifling any product progress.
LetsGo aspires to help new B2B SaaS avoid this by starting on a sounds architectural and devops foundation. Web, HTTP API, worker behind a queue, devops tooling with dedicated deployments. The areas where cuts are often made are included in the boilerplate.
Let's go!

#5I think there is a space for this kind of projects, startups or even well stablished companies teams should use this as an "unfair" advantage to start new projects, and focus on what really matters: the core of their business, I would add a plugin system so it's easy to extend. Are you planning to publish some of the utilities as public npm packages? so in that way it's easier to update?

At present, LetsGo is meant to be cloned and then "made your own" as an integral part of your app. There is no first-class plugin system. I'll see where folks find value before adding that level of complexity.
