Build on a
Solid Foundation
Start with a battle-tested Rails 8 template that includes authentication, AI integration, real-time features, and production infrastructure. Focus on building what makes your app unique.
Why Start from a Template?
LLMs are powerful, but they can't build everything from scratch reliably. There's always a chance they'll make mistakes. The right approach? Build on a strong, proven foundation and have your LLM wire things together instead.
Building from Scratch
- • LLM generates all authentication code → subtle security bugs
- • Database setup written fresh → missing indexes, poor performance
- • Email system cobbled together → deliverability issues
- • File uploads improvised → S3 misconfigurations
- • Testing suite generated → incomplete coverage, false confidence
Building on AllSpark
- • Devise authentication → 10+ years of security hardening
- • PostgreSQL configured → optimized indexes, ready to scale
- • ActionMailer + providers → transactional email just works
- • Active Storage → battle-tested file uploads, CDN-ready
- • RSpec suite → comprehensive tests, production patterns
"LLMs are incredible orchestrators. They're not great architects."
Give them a solid foundation and watch them work magic.
Every Feature. Out of the Box.
