Tech stacks

Best tech stack for a SaaS product?

A proven, productive SaaS stack:

  • Front end: React + Next.js + TypeScript
  • Back end: Node.js (or Python if the product is data/AI-heavy)
  • Database: PostgreSQL — Supabase gives you Postgres, auth, storage and real-time in one service
  • Auth & tenancy: Supabase Auth / Clerk / Auth0, with Row Level Security to keep each customer's data separate
  • Billing: Stripe subscriptions
  • Background work: a job queue for emails, reports and imports
  • Ops: Vercel or AWS, error tracking (Sentry), uptime monitoring, automated backups

Why: one language (TypeScript) end to end, a database that handles relationships and transactions properly, and managed services so a small team ships fast.
