SaaS-Boilerplate

SaaS Boilerplate is a robust and adaptable template designed to accelerate the development of SaaS applications. Built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn UI, this boilerplate provides a comprehensive foundation for building scalable and feature-rich SaaS products. It offers a developer-centric approach, emphasizing flexibility and customization to meet diverse project requirements.

Key features include built-in authentication powered by Clerk, enabling secure user management with sign-up, sign-in, password recovery, and multi-factor authentication. Multi-tenancy support allows for the creation and management of multiple organizations or teams within the application, each with its own set of users and resources. Role-based access control (RBAC) provides granular control over user permissions, ensuring data security and compliance.

The boilerplate incorporates Drizzle ORM for type-safe database interactions, supporting PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL. It includes a development database for offline and local development, as well as seamless integration with remote databases like Prisma PostgreSQL for production environments. Internationalization (i18n) is facilitated through next-intl and Crowdin, enabling the creation of multi-language applications with ease.

Additional features include React Hook Form for streamlined form handling, Zod for data validation, ESLint for code linting, Prettier for code formatting, Husky for Git hooks, and lint-staged for running linters on staged files. The testing suite comprises Vitest and React Testing Library for unit testing, and Playwright for integration and E2E testing. Continuous integration and deployment are managed via GitHub Actions.

Error monitoring is provided through Sentry, and code coverage is tracked using Codecov. Logging is implemented with Pino.js and can be managed with Better Stack. Checkly is used for monitoring as code, ensuring application uptime and performance. The boilerplate also includes automatic changelog generation with Semantic Release, absolute imports, VSCode configuration, SEO metadata, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and a bundler analyzer.

This Next.js starter kit is designed to accelerate development and scale products efficiently. It provides a solid foundation for building SaaS applications with essential features and best practices, allowing developers to focus on core business logic and user experience.
