The Boring SaaS Starter Kit

Ship production SaaS on a $5 VPS. Own your stack.

The Boring SaaS Starter Kit launched on January 20, 2026.

What it does

Most SaaS boilerplates lock you into expensive managed services (Vercel, Supabase). Before you get your first customer, you are burning $50+/month. The Boring SaaS Starter Kit is different. It is a complete Next.js 15 boilerplate architected to run on a single $5 VPS using Docker and SQLite. Includes: - Next.js 15 (App Router) - SQLite (WAL mode) with Litestream backups - Self-hosted Auth & Stripe Integration - Production Docker Setup Stop renting your stack. Own your infrastructure.

A production-ready SaaS base that runs on a single VPS, auth, subscriptions, emails, backups. No managed-service lock-in.“Deployed to DigitalOcean without issues. Stripe works out of the box.” - verified buyerBuild the SaaS. Keep the stack simple.If you’ve shipped anything before, you know the pattern: you start “just building the product”… and two weeks later you’re still wiring auth, Stripe, web

    Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
