At Six Feet Up, we understand the complexities and challenges of starting a new project. That’s why we created Scaf™ — a framework to kick-start your development journey, tailored for busy devs who need to get up and running quickly.
Constantly evolving with user feedback and ongoing enhancements, Scaf is packed with code examples and built on best practices refined through years of experience by our expert developers.
Scaf isn’t just another code generator. It’s a blueprint for your project’s infrastructure that brings together industry standards and the best of technology to save you time and reduce cognitive load.
