Building AuditAlly: An AI-Powered Compliance Monitor
I recently built AuditAlly, a SaaS platform that helps SMBs stay on top of regulatory compliance. Here's a technical breakdown of the stack and key decisions.
The Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js 15 with App Router
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Auth: Clerk
- Database: Neon PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
- Payments: Stripe
- Deployment: Vercel
Key Features
1. Real-Time Compliance Score
The dashboard shows a live compliance percentage calculated from:
- Document coverage
- Framework requirements met
- Regulation currency
2. Multi-Framework Support
Track SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and more from one dashboard.
3. AI-Generated Action Items
When regulations change, the system generates prioritized action items.
Architecture Decisions
Why Clerk for Auth?
Pre-built UI components, easy JWT handling, and excellent Next.js integration.
Why Neon + Drizzle?
Serverless PostgreSQL that scales to zero. Drizzle gives type-safe queries without the ORM overhead.
Why App Router?
Server components for data fetching, streaming for better UX.
