👋 Hello, PH community! We're pleased to announce the biggest SaaS Boilerplate update yet! Our team spent the past few months working hard on improving the developer experience, adding modularity, fixing bugs, and developing new features to help users create successful digital products. 🎉 📍 What SaaS Boilerplate offers? Through the years of SaaS development, we noticed repeatable business logic that can be standardized using the best industry practices and tools. We based our stack on the proven technologies we use daily in our professional work - like React, Django, GraphQL, and more (you can find the full list on our Github). This boilerplate includes plenty of ready-to-use features we coded that you can adjust to your needs: - Authentication and authorization - Notifications - Emails - Payments and subscriptions (Stripe integration) - Infrastructure as a Code (AWS) with pre-configured CI/CD - CMS integration (Contentful) - Admin panel - CRUD generators and more… 📍 Why did we decide to make it open-source and free? At Apptension, we live and breathe SaaS, and sharing knowledge is one of our core values. We believe that accessibility and collaboration should be at the heart of technological advancements, and open sourcing-aligns with these principles. It’s the main reason we wanted to release the SaaS Boilerplate in the open-source model completely free of charge. By making this step, we aim to contribute to the community and help future CTOs build bulletproof products with our robust but customizable stack that saves them some time ;) 📍 What's this update about? Apart from making it open source, SaaS Boilerplate 2.0 update brings new features, bug fixes, and security updates, including the following: - Added 2FA feature, - Added an example integration with OpenAI, - Migrated from yarn to pnpm, - Introduced modularised mono-repository approach (you can now easily disable a feature you don't need and enable it later!) using Nx.js, - Migrated GraphQL client from Relay to Apollo, - Updated NodeJS, Python, and all libraries to the latest available versions, - Implemented a new UI look based on Radix UI and Tailwindcss, - Load env variables required to build and deploy the app from AWS SSM Parameter Store instead of .env files, - Replaced flake8 with ruff, - Upgraded and speeded up storybooks, - Migrated back to Github and fully configured Github Actions, - Added lots and lots of documentation, including Algolia search. All the code is available on Github > https://github.com/apptension/sa... 📍 What are our next steps? We are excited about this new chapter and cannot wait to see the remarkable contributions and innovations that will arise from this decision. But we're not stopping with SaaS Boilerplate's development there. Our team will remain committed to providing excellent support and maintaining its quality by implementing additional features, resolving reported bugs, improving performance, and patching any security issues. Get more information on our website – https://www.apptension.com/saas-... We can't wait for the Product Hunt community to take a look at our latest release, so please share your feedback, insights, or questions and comment on what you think!

Love that its opensource! what are the most popular components currently?

@sentry_co Thanks for the feedback! And regarding your question - infrastructure as a code seems to produce the most interest! 🚀

@lukasz_warchol What's infrastructure as code?

@sentry_co It's basically a method of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, enabling automation and version control, akin to software development processes. You can read more about it in our documentation: https://docs.demo.saas.apptoku.c...

Already had a chance to try the paid version and just played around with the new open-source SaaS Boilerplate - seriously, it's a treat! It's packed with all the good stuff like Stripe for payments, Contentful for CMS, and an AWS-based architecture that makes deployment a cinch. Shout out to the Apptension crew for this gem. If you're dabbling in SaaS, you've got to check this out. More time for creativity and less time on setup - this is the way, right 😉?

@michal_chudziak Thanks for your feedback, Michał! We're extremely happy to know that SaaS Boilerplate is valuable for the community - in the end, it's our main goal with this launch 😄

@michal_chudziak Thanks! We put a lot into the development of this product and transitioning it to open source, so your feedback gives us confidence that we are heading in the right direction 🙌 And it should be the only way - focusing on essential business logic instead of developing repeatable features 🤩

@michal_chudziak this is the way

Looks pretty dooope, thanks boys! Are there any features or improvements you plan to introduce in the future? Or did you decide to make it free and leave it like that? (I'm for sure with that as well, but was just curious)
