I kept rewriting the same foundation for every SaaS I built — auth, payments, email, logging, environment setup — so I packaged it all up as SaaS Forge.
It’s a modular boilerplate generator for SaaS apps with AI in mind. You can use it two ways:
* 1. Open-source CLI (free, unlimited)*
npx saas-forge my-app
* 2. Web Scaffold (20 credits)*
Live at: boilerplate.bayesian-labs.com
A guided UI that helps you select features, configure env vars (e.g. auth keys, DB URLs, etc.), and deploy correctly.
What you get out of the box: - Auth: Better Auth — email/password + GitHub, Google, LinkedIn OAuth + email verification + password reset - Payments: Dodo Payments/ Stripe — webhooks, credit system - Database: PostgreSQL(AWS RDS/Neon/Supabase/Railway) + Prisma ORM - Storage: Vercel Blob / Cloudflare R2 - Email: Resend / SMTP (Coming Soon) - Analytics: Google Analytics / Vercel Analytics - Security: Upstash Rate Limit - API: tRPC end-to-end type safety - CMS: Notion as a headless CMS for landing pages, docs, and legal pages - Caching: Redis via Upstash - Logging: Winston + Logtail + BetterStack (with guided env setup in the web scaffold) - UI: shadcn ui + aceternity ui+ Tailwind CSS 4 + Framer Motion + 50+ components - Monorepo: Turborepo + pnpm workspaces
Idea is simple: skip boilerplate and ship what’s actually unique in your product.
The CLI is free and open-source — fork it, extend it, or just use it raw. The web scaffold is for folks who want error-proof setup with minimal config.
