Codapult
Codapult is a modular Next.js SaaS starter that provides a production-ready foundation for building software-as-a-service applications. It comes with over 70 built-in modules, 30+ database tables, and 100% TypeScript coverage, enabling developers to launch an MVP in under 5 minutes. The boilerplate includes essential features such as authentication, payments, team management, admin panels, AI integration, SSO, and infrastructure tooling, all wired together out of the box. Built on an adapter pattern, Codapult allows swapping providers and services (e.g., database, auth, payments) via environment variables without rewriting business logic. This vendor-agnostic design prevents lock-in and makes it easy to customize the stack. The plugin system extends functionality with community and premium plugins, managed through a CLI. The AI module is a standout feature, offering streaming chat, support for OpenAI and Anthropic, model selection, conversation history, quotas, embeddings, semantic search, and a RAG pipeline. This enables developers to ship AI-powered features like copilots and internal assistants from day one. Additionally, Codapult includes 1,000+ automated tests, CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, and infrastructure-as-code support for AWS, Kubernetes, and Vercel. Priced as a one-time purchase with lifetime access, Codapult targets indie hackers, startups, and teams building B2B SaaS products. It is distributed as full source code, giving ownership and freedom to modify and extend without subscription fees. The interactive CLI wizard accelerates setup, while comprehensive documentation and Discord support provide guidance.
