Overview

Orbitkit is a comprehensive open-source boilerplate designed to kickstart the development of SaaS applications. It bundles a powerful and popular set of modern web technologies, including Next.js 14 with the App Router for a highly performant and scalable frontend, tRPC for building type-safe APIs that eliminate the need for manual API schema generation, and Prisma as an elegant ORM for interacting with PostgreSQL databases. For styling, it leverages Tailwind CSS, complemented by shadcn/ui components, ensuring a sleek and responsive user interface.

The boilerplate comes pre-integrated with essential SaaS functionalities such as user authentication via NextAuth.js, payment processing through Stripe, and email services powered by Resend. It also includes developer-friendly features like Docker support for simplified environment setup, ESLint and Prettier for maintaining code quality, and Zod for robust schema validation. Orbitkit aims to provide a solid, production-ready foundation, allowing developers to focus on building unique features rather than spending time on initial setup and configuration.
