Every time I started a new SaaS project, I spent the first few weeks doing the same thing: setting up auth, wiring up Stripe, configuring email, deploying to a server, writing middleware, protecting routes. None of it was the actual product. All of it was infrastructure that every SaaS project needs.
After doing this four or five times, I decided to build a proper boilerplate — not just a starter template, but production-grade code I'd actually use myself.
That became DiggaByte.
What's included
The templates come with:
- Authentication — NextAuth.js with email/password, Google OAuth, GitHub OAuth. Sessions, JWT, protected routes, middleware — all done.
- Stripe payments — Subscription billing, one-time payments, webhooks pre-configured, customer portal wired up. The hardest part of a SaaS is already working.
- Email — Transactional email with resend/nodemailer, pre-built templates for welcome, password reset, invoice, etc.
- Database — Prisma ORM with schema, migrations, and seed scripts ready to go.
- Landing page — A real, designed marketing page. Not a blank canvas.
- Dashboard — A working user dashboard to add your app logic on top of.
- Deployment — Works on Vercel, self-hosted via Docker, or traditional VPS.
The problem with most boilerplates
Most Next.js "starter kits" give you a project that runs and not much else. Auth is often a basic JWT implementation without session handling, middleware, or role management. Stripe is usually a single checkout link.
I built DiggaByte to be what I actually needed — the full boring infrastructure layer — so I could focus on what makes each project different.
Under the hood
Built entirely with the Next.js App Router. TypeScript throughout. Tailwind for styling. Prisma for the database layer. The stack choices were made to be boring — not trendy — because boring technology is what holds up under production load.
The Stripe integration handles the full subscription lifecycle: trial periods, plan changes, cancellation, reactivation, failed payment recovery. The webhooks are properly idempotent.
Who it's for
Indie developers and small teams who want to launch a SaaS without burning a month on boilerplate. If you've ever started a Next.js project and thought "I'm going to need auth, then I need Stripe, then I need email..." — DiggaByte is for you.
