What ShipSafe Is
(and what it's not)
What It Is
- Complete architectural system for serious builders
- Opinionated — clear decisions, no ambiguity
- Structured — predictable, maintainable architecture
- Production-first — built for real products, not demos
- Security-first — 7-layer security architecture
- Domain-driven — clean separation of concerns
- Type-safe — full TypeScript coverage
- Documented — comprehensive guides and examples
"Ship like a professional — even if you're solo."
What It's Not
- A template — generic, one-size-fits-all code
- A starter kit — basic scaffolding, missing pieces
- Demo code — toy projects, not production-ready
- A tutorial — step-by-step learning material
- A framework — opinionated runtime constraints
- A library — reusable code snippets
- Duct tape — quick fixes and workarounds
- A course — educational content, not production code
No fluff.
No toy projects.

Defense in Depth
Seven layers
Each one runs in sequence
•If one fails, the others stand guard
•Defense-in-depth security
•Production-ready from day one
This layered approach means you don't need to configure security yourself.
It's all built-in and active from day one.
Built-In Protection
✓No security configuration needed
✓Works out of the box
✓Production-tested in real applications
All traffic is encrypted from the start. Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirect in production ensures no unencrypted connections. This is the first line of defense, ensuring all communication between clients and your application is secure and cannot be intercepted.
Simple Terms
Like sending mail in a locked box instead of a postcard. Everything is encrypted so even if someone intercepts it, they can't read it.
IP-based rate limiting prevents abuse and protects your API endpoints from being overwhelmed by malicious requests. This layer automatically throttles excessive requests from a single source, preventing DDoS attacks and ensuring fair resource usage across all users.
Simple Terms
Like a bouncer at a club. If someone tries to enter too many times too quickly, they get temporarily blocked. Keeps the bad actors out.
Blocks invalid requests before they reach your route handlers. Validates request structure, prevents malformed payloads, and filters out suspicious patterns. This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring only properly formatted requests proceed to your application logic.
Simple Terms
Like a security checkpoint. Bad requests get stopped at the door before they can cause any trouble inside your application.
Double-submit cookie pattern prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Webhooks are excluded from CSRF protection (they use signature verification instead). This ensures that requests originate from your legitimate application, not from malicious third-party sites.
Simple Terms
Like a secret handshake. Only requests from your actual website are accepted. Prevents fake requests from other sites pretending to be you.
Complete HTTP security headers including CSP (Content Security Policy), HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security), XSS protection, and more. Hardened defaults for maximum security. These headers instruct browsers on how to handle your application securely.
Simple Terms
Like safety instructions for your browser. Tells it exactly how to protect your users from common web attacks automatically.
Complete event tracking for monitoring and compliance. All security events are logged with timestamps, IP addresses, and request details. This provides visibility into security incidents and helps with forensic analysis when needed.
Simple Terms
Like a security camera system. Records everything that happens so you can see who did what and when. Essential for catching problems early.
Protected routes requiring authentication. Returns 401 Unauthorized for API routes, redirects to login for pages. Guards your application endpoints and ensures only authenticated users can access protected resources.
Simple Terms
Like a VIP section. Only users who have logged in can access protected areas. Everyone else gets redirected to the login page.

What Makers Say
Don't just take our word for it. See what developers and founders are saying about ShipSafe.
I don't want to spend weeks configuring security middleware. I don't want to risk a data breach either. ShipSafe solved this problem once and for all. Security is built-in, not bolted on. I can focus on building features instead of worrying about vulnerabilities.
A.C.A.C.Full-stack DeveloperShipSafe saved me months of development time. The security features are production-ready out of the box. I launched my SaaS in weeks instead of months, and I know it's secure from day one. This is exactly what I needed to move fast without cutting corners.
S.M.S.M.Startup FounderThe 7-layer security stack is exactly what we needed. No more worrying about CSRF attacks or rate limiting. Everything is configured correctly from the start. This is how all boilerplates should be built. Our security audit passed on the first try.
