Hey Hacker News! I'm Zach, and I'm excited to introduce Staxless, a SaaS boilerplate designed to help founders scale fast and ditch the monolith headaches. If you're a SaaS founder craving growth without the complexity of microservices, Staxless is your plug-and-play solution.
What is Staxless?
Staxless is a pre-configured microservice architecture with all the SaaS essentials:
- Frontend Options: Next.js, or BYOF (Swift, Kotlin, or multi frontend deployments)
- Auth:OAuth2.0 and or Magic Links
- User Management: MongoDB
- Payments: Stripe
- Content Management: Payload CMS
- Emails: Mailgun
- Deployment: Dockerized with Compose and Swarm
- API Gateway: Kong for modular flexibility
Did I mention that every component is hot swappable and enterprise ready?
It also includes detailed docs, quick-start guides, sample code snippets for custom features, and a #BuildInPublic community for support and collaboration.
Why Staxless?
Staxless saves you months of dev time by providing a scalable, future-proof architecture. Unlike generic boilerplates, it's tailored for SaaS founders—indie hackers and funded startups alike—helping you focus on features and community growth without technical debt.
Pricing
- Basic Tier: $299 (one-time, lifetime access to codebase + docs)
- Premium Tier: $499 (includes community access, code snippets, priority support) or 3 payments of $170
