create-foundry-app: One Command, A Whole App, Wired

Every platform you have ever shipped on hands you a bag of parts. A database here. A bucket there. An auth provider, a connection string, a set of S3 keys, a firewall rule, an environment variable to remember on Monday. Each part is real and each part works, but none of them know about each other. The wiring is the project. You spend the first afternoon copying credentials between dashboards before your app renders a single useful screen.

Today we ship the opposite of a bag of parts. create-foundry-app is live. One command scaffolds a Next.js app that already declares what it needs. One deploy provisions every one of those resources on FoundryDB, wires them together, and injects the credentials into the running app. No connection strings to copy. No firewall rules to open. No API keys to paste. You write the app and you ship the wired whole, resident in Europe, in one command and one deploy.

And because we know the first question every serious developer asks: it is open-source, it is MIT, and every primitive maps to an open standard, so the same app runs anywhere. You own the convenience, not a lock.
