    Project mention: I shipped a 20-feature DevOps tool solo in 60 days using Claude Code — the unfiltered breakdown | dev.to | 2026-05-07

    TL;DR — I built Maintenant, a 20-feature monitoring tool (Docker + Kubernetes + endpoints + certs + alerts + status page + MCP server), solo, in two months, with Claude Code. AGPL-3.0 open-core, Pro tier at €29/month, real users in production. This post is not a pitch. It's the honest breakdown — what actually got 10x'd, what completely wasted my time, what I'd never claim about AI coding, and why the code was probably the easiest part. If you're a senior dev considering whether to bet on LLM-augmented development, this is what the inside actually looks like.
