LiteSaaS Starter Kit
Open-source Next.js 15 + SQLite SaaS starter kit featuring WAL mode concurrency, Drizzle ORM, self-hosted session authentication, and automated Litestream S3 replication.
Short Explanation
LiteSaaS is an open-source, production-grade Next.js 15 starter kit engineered for founders and teams who want to build zero-database-cost SaaS applications. By leveraging embedded SQLite with Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and Litestream continuous streaming replication to S3-compatible storage, it delivers sub-millisecond query latencies and zero-maintenance database operations on a $4/month VPS.
Some of the features implemented include:
-
⚡ High-Concurrency SQLite: Configured with WAL mode, busy timeouts, and PRAGMA tuning for concurrent read/write throughput.
-
🔄 Continuous S3 Replication: Automated Litestream replication streaming every transaction to Cloudflare R2 or AWS S3 for zero-RPO disaster recovery.
-
🔐 Self-Hosted Session Auth: Secure, cookie-based session authentication with bcrypt hashing and CSRF protection without third-party vendor lock-in.
-
🛠 Type-Safe Drizzle ORM: End-to-end schema definitions, type-safe queries, and zero-downtime database migrations.
-
🎨 Polished Tailwind UI: Clean, responsive dark/light developer dashboard, user settings, team workspaces, and billing layouts.
-
📦 Docker & VPS Deployment: Production-ready multi-stage Dockerfile and docker-compose setup ready for Railway, Fly.io, or VPS deployment.
