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.
What I've settled on after cycling through three different stacks in two years of indie hacking. Every tool earns its place here — nothing is cargo-culted from a blog post.
Workflow stack
The order matters. Start at the top, read down the sequence, and open any step when you want the note behind it.
Full-stack framework
I never seriously consider alternatives for new projects. One codebase, one repo, one deploy command — and the ecosystem means any question has a Stack Overflow answer.
Open tool profileBackend
Replaces three services I used to juggle. Database, auth, and file storage in one dashboard I can actually use without reading the docs every single time.
Open tool profileAuth
Took me 20 minutes to implement auth that would have taken a week building from scratch. The pre-built components look production-ready on day one without custom styling.
Open tool profileBilling
The documentation is so thorough it has never been the thing blocking me. Webhook testing with the Stripe CLI is genuinely great and saves hours of staging environment headaches.
Open tool profileDeploy
PR preview URLs are the feature I would miss most if I had to leave. Showing stakeholders a live link instead of a screenshot changes every single review conversation.

This is the stack for B2B SaaS teams that outgrow simple checkout flows. Billing automation, invoices, lifecycle email, analytics, and your product database all stay connected.
