It's so amazing to see how the tech community inspires and learns from one another. Laravel found inspiration from Rails. Then, seeing Bullet Train was inspired back from the Laravel ecosystem with Laravel Spark.

In the past, I was jealous of the Ruby ecosystem with an extremely large community (the grass is always greener on the other side?). And, thinking the JavaScript ecosystem was left behind, but now I am hopeful that the JavaScript ecosystem has finally caught up.

I can totally confirm Bullet Train is an inspiration for many SaaS Boilerplates. I was personally inspired by Bullet Train to build Nextless.js [1], a Next.js based SaaS Boilerplate, bringing SaaS starter kits in Next.js/React/JavaScript ecosystem.

Thank you Vercel team, it works perfectly! Just updated my Next.js Boilerpalte to version 13.3 without any issue: https://github.com/ixartz/Next-js-Boilerplate

A picture is worth a thousand words, I'm currently writing the blog post but I believe the diagram is already representing 80% of the blog post.

I want also to implement the custom domains for my own project and you are currently using Amazon AWS to handle custom domains and auto-generates an SSL cert? If I'm not wrong Amazon AWS for custom domain is limited to a fixed number of certificate (something less than 1000). How do you plan to scale support a large amount of the customer?

Thanks for showing interest. The service doesn't use AWS to auto-generate SSL for custom domains, it uses a dedicated instance of Open Resty with LetsEncrypt.

Thank you for your response

Thank you for taking the time to write this article.

I have close look on Remix.run, I'll definitively try in the future. It looks extremely promising. Currently, still using Next.js for all my projects.

I'm really glad you liked it! When the strengths of Remix meet your project needs it's an absolute beast! Hope you will have success with it! (Currently I also use Next.js and will stick with it for a while - the next full context review will be about it)

Couldn't wait to see a review about Next.js! I'll happy to read it!

Huge release! Thank to the hard work and the team.

I'll try the On-demand ISR right away, almost waited one year. I have just updated my Next.js to version 12.1: https://github.com/ixartz/Next-js-Boilerplate

I didn't get any issue with the update, it's already an excellent news!

Could you elaborate? I'm currently looking for a solution to build email with Tailwind CSS. So, with Maizzle you can do more things?

Currently, Stripe is addressing this issue. Couple months ago, they released Stripe Tax... I didn't have the chance to try it but it seems very promising and it's only the first version.

It's quite enjoyable to develop in cutting-edge tech: React, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, Serverless, VSCode, etc. You are now in component paradigm with typing and styled with utility class for the frontend. Fully build in static mode so no need to have a dynamic server to serve your frontend: better performance, secure, cheaper. You can also deploy at each commit to preview your front.

Thanks to cutting-edge tech, you can deploy your backend in one command and the same thing to provision your cloud infrastructure (also in one command). With Serverless, everything scale based on your traffic, you don't need to worry about over/under provision with little maintenance.

I was a web developer in 2010 and the developer experience wasn't the same. You need to rent a server, SSH to the server, install OS dependencies, install a firewall, install a webserver, install a database, log management, monitoring, etc. and still, I didn't talk about your application and business logic. Launching a SaaS in 2010 has been extremely painful.

It seems there are a lot of dependencies but every dependency is integrated into Nextless.js for a reason. It's just the bare minimum to build a high-quality SaaS product in 2021.

Nextless.js speeds up development for your SaaS with UI components, authentication, subscription, form management with developer experience in mind: type checking, linter, code formatter, editor configuration.

Not only Nextless.js will help you to build your SaaS, but it also takes care of your production environment by leveraging serverless.

On the contrary, using all these dependencies, remove a lot of burden from you and give you more time to focus on your business. No need to be an Ops engineer or UI/UX designer anymore for a small SaaS.

Still not convince? You aren't dealing with these dependencies directly, a lot of them work under the hood and Nextless.js are taking care of them. So, no need to worry about these dependencies yourself and Nextless will receive updates. You just need to focus on the things that make your SaaS unique and grow your business.

PS: Sorry for this long response ;) I started with one paragraph and make a short response. But, I end up with this huge text and I hope it responds to your questions.

Definitively, blitzjs is extremely good full-stack framework to build applications and there are a lot of things we can learn from them.

Nextless.js is different compared to blitzjs, here is the feature which aren't available in blitzjs:

- Payment integration

- Dashboard UI

- Landing Page

- Infrastructure as code

- Deploy in Serverless environment

Nextless.js focus on SaaS application and help you build your SaaS product faster.
