If youโve ever built a SaaS MVP in .NET from scratch, you know the drill:
๐ Rebuild login
๐ Add role-based access
๐ Create user management
๐ Set up email templates
๐ Integrate payments
๐ Write background job queues
๐ Build an admin panel
๐ Handle logging
๐ Configure everything for production
You spend 2โ4 weeks just laying the foundationโฆ before you even begin writing your appโs core logic.
Thatโs where EasyLaunchpad changes the game.
This production-ready .NET boilerplate saves you dozens of hours by bundling the most common (and essential) parts of any modern SaaS or admin-based app โ all neatly wired and tested.
In this blog, weโll walk through real-world examples of what EasyLaunchpad saves you from, how it compares to building from scratch, and why it gives you the fastest path to MVP success.
๐งฑ The Time Drain: Building SaaS Infrastructure from Scratch
Letโs take a typical solo founder or .NET developer trying to launch a SaaS MVP.
Hereโs what they usually do:
โ Task and Time Estimate:
Authentication + Google login- 2 days
Admin panel layout + navigation- 2โ3 days
User + role management- 2 days
Email system (SMTP + templates)- 2 days
Payment integration (Stripe/Paddle)- 3โ4 days
Background job system- 1โ2 days
Logging setup + error tracking- 1โ2 days
Packages and plan management- 2 days
UI styling with Tailwind (or custom)- 2 days
Total = 15โ20 days (minimum)
Thatโs assuming youโre fast, experienced, and not handling marketing or sales.
โก EasyLaunchpad: Everything You Need, Already Done
With EasyLaunchpad, all of this is ready from day one:
โ Feature and the Status:
โ
Auth (email + Google)- Pre-integrated
โ Admin Panel- Fully built with Tailwind + DaisyUI
โ User/Role Management- Pre-wired
โ Email System- SMTP + DotLiquid templates
โ Stripe + Paddle- Plug-and-play integration
โ Background Jobs- Hangfire setup complete
โ Logging- Serilog fully configured
โ Packages/Plans- Managed via admin UI
โ Modular Architecture- Scales with your project
โ UI Components- Responsive and styled
You can save 2โ3 weeks of initial work and jump straight into building features that make your app unique.
๐ Real Example: Setting Up a SaaS Plan
๐ Without EasyLaunchpad:
Write plan model
Build admin form for plan creation
Connect Stripe API
Store plan status in DB
Handle webhook for new subscription
Send email receipt
Log result and errors
Test the flow
โณ Time estimate: 3โ4 days
๐ With EasyLaunchpad:
Plans module already exists in admin
Stripe/Paddle integration is prebuilt
Email receipt templates are in place
Logging and background retry handled by Serilog + Hangfire
โฑ Time spent: 15โ30 minutes to define your plan
๐ Real Example: Adding Background Email Notifications
๐ Without EasyLaunchpad:
Choose a job processor (Hangfire, Quartz)
Install + configure
Write job queue logic
Setup cron expressions
Monitor success/failure manually
๐ With EasyLaunchpad:
Hangfire is already in place
Email sending is built with queuing
Admin can monitor jobs visually
Retry logic is auto-managed
No job setup. No middleware configuration.
Just call:
_backgroundJobClient.Enqueue(() => _emailService.SendWelcomeEmailAsync(user.Id));
Done.
๐ Real Example: Logging for Debugging & Audit
๐ From Scratch:
- Choose and install logging framework
- Write global logger wrapper
- Manually add logging to each service/controller
- Design a strategy for log levels and outputs
๐ In EasyLaunchpad:
- Serilog is already wired
- Logs are structured
- Logged across services, email jobs, auth, and payments
- Easily extended to write to Seq, ELK, or console
You can even tail production logs instantly:
{
โLevelโ: โInformationโ,
โMessageโ: โUser logged inโ,
โUserIdโ: โ12345โ,
โTimestampโ: โ2024โ07โ22T09:15:00Zโ
}
๐ง Developer Feedback
โThe first time I used EasyLaunchpad, I went from idea to deployed MVP in 6 days. What normally takes weeks was already done for me.โ
โ A SaaS Founder & Full Stack .NET Developer
โMy team saved nearly 40 hours in setup time. We used that time to launch a second product.โ
