Operating a self-hosted SaaS stack

Start with the boring parts

A reliable SaaS install depends on the basics: a known-good web server config, complete migrations, seeded roles, working queues, and a backup plan. None of these are glamorous, but they decide whether the product feels trustworthy.

Mash is designed so those concerns are visible from the admin and CLI rather than buried in one-off scripts.

Keep operations inspectable

Audit logs, health checks, and clear error pages make it easier to understand what happened when something breaks and what to fix next.
