Question 1

Who created Bedrock?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What technologies does Bedrock use?

Accepted Answer

Bedrock uses Next.js, React, GraphQL, TypeScript, Prisma, GraphQL Codegen, GraphQL Yoga, Pothos, Prettier, Stripe, Passport, ESLint, and URQL. The core technologies are Next.js and GraphQL, while the others are optional and can be removed or replaced.

Question 3

Can I modify Bedrock to fit my own needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bedrock is designed to be modular so you can fine-tune it to your preferences. All tools except for Next.js are completely optional and can easily be removed or swapped for your favorite alternative.

Question 4

Does Bedrock include a design system or component library?

Accepted Answer

No, Bedrock comes without any styling or component library because most developers would remove it anyway. The frontend contains just the minimal code necessary to make the functionality work, allowing you to bring your own component library or use any open source one.

Question 5

How does Bedrock handle user authentication?

Yes, Bedrock supports teams out of the box. Users can create 'projects,' each with its own billing and members. It includes a pre-built invitation system allowing users to invite colleagues to their projects.

Bedrock uses Stripe Checkout to securely accept subscription payments. It's ready for any plans you want (including yearly and per-seat pricing) and handles invoices, billing management, and PCI compliance.

Are there any products built with Bedrock?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

How many products can I build with one Bedrock license?

Accepted Answer

Each license allows you to use Bedrock to build one product, regardless of how many people work on that product. You can purchase unlimited licenses, and there's also an unlimited license option that allows you to use Bedrock for as many products as you want.
