next-forge

Overview

next-forge is a production-grade Turborepo template for Next.js apps, maintained under Vercel. It is an opinionated starting point for SaaS products: a monorepo with separate apps for the marketing site, the main application, an API, documentation, email templates and Storybook, all sharing packages for authentication, database, payments and a shadcn/ui-based design system.

The template wires in services that are free to start and scale with you, including Clerk for auth, Stripe for subscriptions, Resend for email, PostHog for product analytics, Sentry and BetterStack for observability, and Arcjet for security. It is MIT licensed, with live demos of the web app, application, Storybook and API.
