Stack input
Describe the SaaS
Recommendation
Choose Next.js
It gives you marketing pages, app routes, API routes, auth callbacks, and server-rendered SEO content in one codebase.
Next.js SaaS stack
PostgreSQL
Deploy Next.js on Vercel with managed Postgres, Stripe webhooks, email, analytics, and error monitoring.
Architecture guide
Public site
Use Next.js pages for landing pages, pricing, docs, and SEO content.
App core
Next.js App Router, React, Tailwind CSS with account, billing, onboarding, and dashboard routes grouped by product workflow.
API layer
Next.js route handlers for simple APIs, dedicated Node workers when background jobs grow
Data layer
PostgreSQL as the primary store. Add object storage for uploads and Redis once you have async jobs.
Revenue layer
Stripe Checkout, customer portal, webhook verification, and subscription status synced into your database.
Nextjs vs Next.js notes
Better for SEO pages, pricing pages, server rendering, and full-stack SaaS routes.
Can feel heavier than Nextjs if you only need a private dashboard MVP.
Works best when you keep server actions, route handlers, and background jobs clearly separated.
Use PostgreSQL as the default SaaS database because subscriptions, teams, roles, invoices, and analytics usually become relational.
Pick Nextjs instead if this is a private internal dashboard, budget is very tight, and SEO is not important yet.
