What it is

Vercel's reference SaaS template: Next.js with Postgres, Drizzle ORM, Stripe subscriptions and Customer Portal, shadcn/ui, email and password auth using JWT cookies, an RBAC dashboard, activity logging and a marketing landing page. 16,000+ stars with a live demo.

Why it earns a slot

Free proof of how auth, Stripe and Postgres fit together. Read this before paying $199 for a boilerplate, because for many projects it is already enough and agents extend it comfortably.

Know before you commit

Explicitly a learning resource: no team billing, transactional email, admin tooling or tests, and the roll-your-own JWT auth is the first piece most people replace with a real auth provider.
