For the next 30 days, I'm on a personal challenge to make my first $10 online from a product I built myself.

I have a graveyard of half-finished projects and something that really made me unmotivated was always the amount of repetitive setup work at the beginning. User authentication, billing, database schemas, deployment. I know there are a bunch of "code templates" online, but I always doubted if it was worth the investment. Btw, I'm from Brazil so anything in USD is 5x more expensive for me unfortunately :).

To solve this for myself and hopefully for others, I decided my challenge product would be the tool I'd like to have myself.

The starter kit handles all of the boring stuff so you can focus on building the features that make your product unique.

The part that makes the kit unique is the hosting / deployment. A lot of the available boilerplates don't have comprehensive solutions for deploying your project, and that's usually the most critical and time consuming part. I used AWS CDK to automate the entire infrastructure deployment. Managing resources on AWS rather than a cloud wrapper like Vercel has the advantage of being much more customizable.

What I included in the starter kit:

Framework: Next.js for the frontend and API routes.

Payments: Stripe for billing.

Styling: Tailwind CSS.

Database: Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL.

Deployment: AWS CDK.

I'd love for any feedback on this product This is day the 14th day of my 30-day challenge, and launching this is the first big step. I would be incredibly grateful if you could check it out and let me know what you think. All feedback brutal or otherwise is welcome
