Graphile Starter is an opinionated full-stack SaaS quick-start template built on React, Node.js, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL, powered by PostGraphile, TypeScript, Apollo Client, Graphile Worker, Graphile Migrate, GraphQL Code Generator, Ant Design, and Next.js. It ships with a pre-built user registration and organization (teams/companies) system, session management, an optimized job queue, database migrations, and pre-configured tooling including ESLint, Prettier, Jest, and Cypress tests.

Use cases

• launch a SaaS web app quickly with auth and organizations already built
• go from idea to launch during a hack day
• bootstrap a client project with a full-stack React/Node/GraphQL/PostgreSQL foundation
• start a new project with PostGraphile and Graphile Worker pre-configured
• get user registration, sessions, and email flows out of the box
• set up a project with end-to-end and unit testing already wired up
• build a multi-tenant app with organization/team support

When to choose

• you're already comfortable with Node.js, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, PostGraphile, React, and TypeScript
• you want an opinionated, batteries-included SaaS foundation with accounts and organizations
• you value deeply integrated tooling (migrations, job queue, tests, linting) from day one
• you're building a project large or small and want maximum productivity from the start

When to avoid

• you're a beginner - the project explicitly states it is not for beginners and is overwhelming as a first exposure to these tools
• you want to pick your own stack components rather than adopt an opinionated set
• you don't want PostgreSQL as your database or GraphQL as your API layer
• you need a lightweight minimal template rather than a full-featured one
