I’m looking for a developer with strong experience in Node.js, TypeScript, and Linux mail servers (Postfix, Dovecot, etc.) to help polish and productionize part of our SaaS. We already have ~80% of the logic working. I built the base with Claude Code, and while it does work (we’ve tested on OVH VPSes), the app is still “vibe coded.” What we need now is a real developer to take it the final 20%: - Make it PRODUCTION READY — clean, stable, and bug-free - Add proper API endpoints so it can be plugged directly into our SaaS as a microservice - Fully test it (stress tests, edge cases, error handling) so we don’t have to hunt for bugs later - Polish and improve the current code, not just patch it What the app currently does (already working at a basic level): 1. User inputs SSH details (IP, username, password/private key) for an Ubuntu 22.04 VPS → system connects and prepares it. 2. User can input additional IPs → IPs are configured and ready for mail allocation. 3. Mail server stack installed → Postfix, Dovecot, SSL/TLS, basic configs. 4. User inputs domains → added to VPS + DNS automatically configured via Cloudflare API (SPF, DKIM, MX, DMARC) or prompt if NS needs registrar update. 5. User specifies inboxes per domain → inboxes created and distributed across IPs (load balanced across additional IPs). 6. Post-setup customization → add/remove domains, inboxes, or IPs anytime without breaking setup. 7. SMTP routing → can send directly from VPS or route via external SMTP (SES, etc.). 8. Health/blacklist checks → ongoing checks on domains & IPs for reputation + server health. Important: We’re not looking for someone who thinks this is just a quick job, tweaking a few lines of code. This is a serious production project where you’ll need to: - Go through all the logic carefully - Refactor and harden it where needed - Add proper error handling, logging, retries - Make sure it’s tested, reliable, and production-grade We’re paying you to make this SaaS-ready, so when we plug it into our app, it just works. Quick asks for you: * Can you share examples of past projects (especially around mail server automation or Node/TypeScript SaaS microservices)? * What would your quote be to take this “vibe coded” base and make it production-ready? * Are you open to working with us on a project-by-project basis, with potential for long-term collaboration if this goes well?

OVER 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN NODE.JS & MAIL SERVER AUTOMATION – PRODUCTION-GRADE DELIVERY Hey there! The biggest risk with projects like this is leaving “vibe-coded” logic unpolished—things may work 80% of the time, but when you scale or face real-world edge cases, you start running into downtime, broken configs, or blacklisted IPs. That’s exactly where I come in: I’ll refactor and harden the entire flow so your mail server automation is not just functional, but truly production-ready. I’ve worked on SaaS microservices and mail stack automation before (Postfix/Dovecot on Ubuntu, Cloudflare DNS, DKIM/SPF/DMARC), so I know how to build something stable that survives stress tests and can handle retries, errors, and edge cases without breaking. My plan would be to carefully audit your current codebase, clean up the logic, add strong API endpoints, and ensure it integrates seamlessly into your SaaS as a plug-and-play microservice. On top of that, I’ll implement structured logging, retries, and monitoring so you don’t have to manually track down issues later. By the time I’m done, you’ll have a stable, tested, and secure system that just works when you plug it into your product—no hidden fires waiting to pop up later.

Hi, We understand your requirement for a seasoned developer with a strong background in Node.js, TypeScript, and Linux mail servers, to fine-tune and productionize your existing SaaS project. This entails making it production-ready, adding API endpoints, extensive testing, and improving the current code. Having worked on similar projects, we're curious to know more about the current state of the codebase. Are there specific areas that you think need more attention than others? Have you identified any potential areas of improvement or issues that need to be addressed in the current codebase? As requested, we will not include any URLs here. However, we have extensive experience in automating mail server operations and developing Node/TypeScript SaaS microservices, and we'd be happy to share relevant examples in a private chat once we connect. We would love to connect via message or a call to discuss your project in detail and understand your needs better. Depending on the scope of work and the current state of the project, we can provide an accurate timeline and quote. We look forward to the possibility of working together, not just on this project but potentially on a long-term basis. Best Regards, Rohit

Hi there! Sounds like what you have now is a working prototype that needs a proper production-grade refactor—strong error handling, API endpoints, and rock-solid stability for mail automation at scale. I’ve been building Node.js + TypeScript solutions for 8 years, including microservices with advanced API architecture and automation scripts on Linux. I’ve also handled mail stack setups with Postfix/Dovecot on Ubuntu and hardened them for security and performance. Recently, I worked on a SaaS email infrastructure for a marketing platform. I refactored the existing “MVP” code, implemented robust logging and retry logic, added health checks, and stress-tested it using k6 and custom scripts to ensure zero downtime. Here are some solutions to complete the project: 1. Refactor and modularize the Node.js/TS codebase for maintainability and speed, reducing future bugs. 2. Implement full error handling, logging, and retry logic so the system is stable under stress. 3. Add REST API endpoints and automated tests to make integration seamless and reduce QA overhead. I can prepare a quick architecture outline and sample API endpoint within 3 days to show how I’d make it SaaS-ready. If we move forward, I’ll make sure this becomes the production-grade solution you need—but even if not, I hope you find the right fit for this critical piece. Would you like me to share the initial API structure proposal this week?

Hi, this is Elias from Miami. I’ve gone through your project, and from what I understand, the goal is to take your current ~80% working mail server automation app and make it production-ready: clean code, hardened logic, proper API endpoints, error handling, and full testing so it can run as a reliable microservice within your SaaS. With over 10 years of experience in Node.js and TypeScript, plus hands-on work deploying and managing Postfix/Dovecot on Linux, I’ve built systems where custom provisioning tools (SSH-based setup, DNS automation, SPF/DKIM/DMARC integration) had to be bulletproof before going live. I’d love the opportunity to work with you on this final stretch — not just patching, but restructuring where needed so the foundation is solid. A few focused questions: Q1: For the health/blacklist checks, do you want alerts sent directly to admins (for example via email or Slack), or just stored/logged in the dashboard? Q2: Are you envisioning these API endpoints to be REST-only, or do you want GraphQL/webhook events for easier integration into your SaaS? Q3: When scaling to multiple VPS setups, should the system orchestrate and monitor them all centrally, or is this microservice focused only on single-server provisioning per request? Looking forward to hearing more about how you’d like this polished. Regards, Elias
