## What it is
next-forge is a production-grade Turborepo monorepo template for building Next.js SaaS applications. It bundles an opinionated, pre-integrated stack covering apps (web, app, API, docs, email, Storybook) and packages for auth, database, payments, analytics, observability, security, and more.

## Use cases
- start a new SaaS app with a production-ready Next.js monorepo
- bootstrap a Next.js project with auth, payments, and analytics preconfigured
- set up a Turborepo with shared packages for web, API, and docs apps
- get a type-safe full-stack starter with Clerk, Stripe, and Prisma wired up
- quickly scaffold a marketing site, app, and API with SEO and monitoring included
- avoid wiring up Sentry, PostHog, feature flags, and webhooks from scratch

## When to choose
- you're starting a new Next.js SaaS and want an opinionated, batteries-included foundation
- you want pre-integrated best-of-breed services (Clerk, Stripe, Neon, Sentry, PostHog) with minimal setup
- you value end-to-end type safety and a monorepo structure with independently deployable apps
- you want to ship and iterate fast with free-tier-friendly services

## When to avoid
- you prefer choosing your own stack instead of opinionated defaults like Clerk, Prisma, or Resend
- you're building a small single-page app where a full monorepo is overkill
- you need non-Next.js frameworks or want a framework-agnostic boilerplate
- you strongly prefer tRPC or different tooling than the chosen defaults
