Choosing the right stack is critical for speed and scalability. Here's our real-world setup for building modern SaaS apps like aSaaSin.

The real stack behind modern SaaS in 2025

Technology stacks are no longer about buzzwords - they’re about workflows. What helps you ship faster, scale easier, and iterate with confidence?

In this post, we’re sharing the exact stack behind aSaaSin - the boilerplate we use to launch production-grade SaaS apps. Every tool is chosen for speed, integration quality, and long-term maintainability.

Core Stack We Use in aSaaSin

  • Frontend: Next.js 14 with the App Router, React 19, and full support for Server Components and layouts.
  • Backend: Supabase for Postgres, edge functions, real-time APIs, and powerful SQL access.
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS with dark mode support and design tokens powered by CSS variables.
  • Authentication: Supabase Auth with social login, passwordless support, and SSR integration via @supabase/ssr.
  • CMS: TinaCMS for editing content directly inside your app — fully integrated with markdown and JSON structures.
  • UI Components: shadcn/ui + Lucide + headless primitives for accessibility and flexibility.
  • State & Data: React 19 built-in cache, SWR for API hooks, and local state via useState and useRef.
  • Types: TypeScript with strict mode for type-safe DX.
  • Hosting: Vercel for instant deploys, preview environments, and edge function support.

Optional Add-ons and Tooling

While the core setup is lean and opinionated, we also include optional tools to boost developer productivity:

  • Lemon Squeezy – Subscription and licensing infrastructure for SaaS monetization.
  • React Email – Transactional email templates powered by Tailwind CSS.
  • Zod – Schema validation with strong TypeScript support.
  • ESLint + Prettier + Husky – Consistent code formatting and pre-commit hooks.
  • Playwright + Vitest – For integration and unit testing.

These are either built-in or easy to drop in when you scale beyond MVP.

Why This Stack Works

This setup isn’t theoretical - it’s battle-tested across real-world SaaS launches. It balances flexibility with structure. You get React’s latest features, a scalable backend, excellent developer tools, and zero vendor lock-in.

If you're starting your next SaaS, this stack can save you weeks of setup. And if you're using aSaaSin, you're already ahead.
