My Agentic Coding Launch Stack
This is the build stack I reach for when I want an AI-heavy coding loop but still need a real product at the end: terminal agent, repo-aware editor, backend, billing, and deploy path.
The starter stack thousands of indie developers and early-stage teams use to ship a subscription product in a weekend — full-stack framework, managed database, auth, billing, email, and deployment in six tools.
Workflow stack
The order matters. Start at the top, read down the sequence, and open any step when you want the note behind it.
Database and storage
Managed Postgres, file storage, and realtime subscriptions in one service — replaces the need for a separate backend engineer in the early stages.
Open tool profileManaged auth
Pre-built sign-in, user profiles, and organization management that look production-ready on day one — OAuth, magic links, and MFA without writing a single auth route.
Open tool profileSubscription billing
Handles recurring subscriptions, metered billing, and one-time payments with webhook events that keep your database in sync with billing state.
Open tool profileTransactional email
Send welcome emails, invoices, and password resets with React Email templates — better deliverability and a cleaner API than SendGrid for new projects.
Open tool profileDeploy and host
Zero-config deployment for Next.js with preview URLs per PR, automatic SSL, and edge functions without managing any servers.
