Next.js SaaS Architecture: A Practical Starting Point
The patterns and decisions I use when starting a new SaaS product with Next.js — from folder structure to auth to multi-tenancy to deployment.
[TODO: Introduction — Why Next.js is a strong choice for SaaS MVPs in 2024.]
[TODO: Section 1 — Project structure: the folder conventions I use and why.]
[TODO: Section 2 — Authentication: NextAuth vs Clerk vs custom JWT. Trade-offs for SaaS.]
[TODO: Section 3 — Multi-tenancy patterns: subdomain routing, row-level security, tenant isolation.]
[TODO: Section 4 — Database: Postgres with Prisma, row-level security, and connection pooling with PgBouncer.]
[TODO: Section 5 — Deployment: Vercel, environment variables, CI/CD basics.]
[TODO: Conclusion — When to deviate from this stack and what I'd choose instead.]
