I Spent 4+ Months Building Web Infrastructure So I’d Stop Rebuilding the Same Things

Why I Built This

For the past few years, every project I worked on hit the same wall.

Not product logic.
Not UI.
Not even scaling.

Infrastructure.

Every time:

  • Authentication took longer than expected
  • APIs grew messy fast
  • Security was “we’ll fix it later”
  • Tooling became duct tape and workarounds

I got tired of rebuilding the same foundation over and over.

So I decided to build it once — properly.


The Problem Nobody Gets Excited About (But Everyone Suffers From)

Most developers don’t fail because their idea is bad.

They fail because:

  • Auth steals weeks
  • APIs become inconsistent
  • Secrets get mishandled
  • Infra work kills momentum

None of this is fun.
None of this is what we want to work on.

But it’s unavoidable.


What I Decided to Build

I started building Heavstal Tech — a developer-first infrastructure platform focused on:

  • 🔐 OAuth2 identity management
  • ⚡ APIs & automation tools
  • 📦 Reusable developer modules
  • 🛡️ A secure password manager
  • 📘 Clear documentation from day one

Not flashy.
Not hype-driven.

Just secure, scalable, production-ready foundations.


What Makes This Different (At Least for Me)

I built this with a few non-negotiables:

  • Secure by default
  • No “enterprise demo” gatekeeping
  • Real documentation, not placeholders
  • Built by someone who actually needed it

This wasn’t a startup pitch.
It was a survival mechanism.


Current State (Being Honest)

I’ve been building this for about 4.5 months.

It works.
It’s live.
It’s documented.

And yes — usage is still low.

That’s part of why I’m writing this.
I want feedback from real developers, not marketing noise.

What I’m Looking For

I’m not asking for hype.

I’m looking for:

  • Honest feedback
  • Use cases I didn’t consider
  • Pain points you hit in infra work
  • Suggestions from people who’ve been here

If you’ve ever rebuilt auth or APIs from scratch, I’d genuinely love your thoughts.

Thanks for reading.
