## What it is
An official Next.js starter template for building SaaS applications with authentication, Stripe payments, and a user dashboard. It combines Next.js, Postgres with Drizzle ORM, Stripe subscriptions, and shadcn/ui into a ready-to-deploy codebase.

## Use cases
- launch a subscription-based SaaS product quickly
- add Stripe checkout and customer portal to a Next.js app
- set up email/password auth with JWT cookies in Next.js
- build a team dashboard with CRUD and basic RBAC
- bootstrap a Next.js project with Postgres and Drizzle
- learn how to wire Stripe webhooks locally

## When to choose
- starting a new SaaS from scratch with Next.js and Stripe
- you want an official, well-maintained reference implementation
- you need auth, payments, and RBAC wired together out of the box

## When to avoid
- you use a different stack than Next.js/Postgres/Stripe
- you need production-grade RBAC or multi-tenancy beyond owner/member roles
- you want a no-code or hosted SaaS builder
