Trust the chef

Every decision you make before building your product is a decision that delays your launch.

Which framework? What hosting provider? How should auth work? What about payments? CI/CD? Deployment? Security scanning?

I've spent 16 years building software—from eye-tracking experiments at Max Planck to ML infrastructure serving hundreds of data scientists at enterprise scale. Now I run the Claude Code meetup in Cologne and watch founders build incredible things with AI. But I keep seeing the same pattern: weeks lost to infrastructure before writing a single line of product code.

Worse—I see founders choose platforms like Vercel, Replit, or Lovable because those platforms decide for them. The price? Lock-in. They can't leave, can't scale on their terms, can't bring in other developers. And when it's time to sell, the buyer sees a house built on rented land.

"What if someone made the infrastructure decisions for you—without the lock-in?"

The omakase philosophy

In Japanese cuisine, omakase means "I'll leave it up to you." You sit down, and the chef serves what's best. No menu. No decisions. Just trust.

Ruby on Rails embraced this philosophy: instead of choosing between dozens of tools, you get a curated stack that works. Convention over configuration. The same predictability that makes Rails productive for developers also makes it ideal for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor.

Omaship takes this further. We don't just give you Rails—we give you a complete SaaS foundation. Deployment. CI/CD. Payments. Auth. Security scanning. All the decisions, already made. By someone who's built production systems that serve thousands of users daily.

The name? Oma from omakase. Ship because that's what you're here to do.

Built for serial builders

This is for the founder who builds quick, ships fast, and moves on to the next thing. You're technical enough to be dangerous—you can vibe-code a working prototype—but you know there's a gap between "it works" and "it's production-ready."

That gap is where deals fall apart during due diligence. It's where security incidents happen. It's where scaling breaks. Omaship closes that gap before you write your first feature.

We run our own products on Omaship:

• Cozama — Priority management for startup founders
• Chaodinator — AI-powered daily task prioritization
• MySokrates — Interactive learning platform

Every feature in Omaship exists because we needed it. Every default is something we'd choose for ourselves. Every architectural decision is one less thing standing between you and your product.

Finally, you can just start.
