Frequently Asked Questions
JavaScript
What makes JavaScript ideal for SaaS development?
JavaScript excels in SaaS development due to its robust ecosystem, strong typing capabilities, and excellent library support. JavaScript boilerplates leverage language-specific features to provide type-safe database queries, efficient API routing, and optimized runtime performance. The language's maturity means you get battle-tested packages for authentication, payment processing, and background jobs that integrate seamlessly.
Python

Django
What Django-specific architecture patterns are implemented?
Django boilerplates leverage the framework's native architecture patterns including its routing system, middleware pipeline, and controller/handler structure. They implement Django's conventions for separating concerns, dependency injection, and service layer patterns. The codebase follows Django's best practices for organizing models, views/components, and business logic to ensure maintainability as your application grows.
Hotwire
What Hotwire-specific architecture patterns are implemented?
Hotwire boilerplates leverage the framework's native architecture patterns including its routing system, middleware pipeline, and controller/handler structure. They implement Hotwire's conventions for separating concerns, dependency injection, and service layer patterns. The codebase follows Hotwire's best practices for organizing models, views/components, and business logic to ensure maintainability as your application grows.
Wagtail
What Wagtail-specific architecture patterns are implemented?
Wagtail boilerplates leverage the framework's native architecture patterns including its routing system, middleware pipeline, and controller/handler structure. They implement Wagtail's conventions for separating concerns, dependency injection, and service layer patterns. The codebase follows Wagtail's best practices for organizing models, views/components, and business logic to ensure maintainability as your application grows.
Stimulus
What Stimulus-specific component architecture is used?
Stimulus boilerplates follow the framework's component composition patterns with reusable, atomic design components. They implement Stimulus's best practices for component structure, props handling, event management, and lifecycle methods. The component library includes authentication flows, dashboards, data tables, forms with validation, and navigation—all built with Stimulus's native features like hooks (React), composition API (Vue), or directives (Angular).
Tailwind CSS
What Tailwind CSS-specific component architecture is used?
Tailwind CSS boilerplates follow the framework's component composition patterns with reusable, atomic design components. They implement Tailwind CSS's best practices for component structure, props handling, event management, and lifecycle methods. The component library includes authentication flows, dashboards, data tables, forms with validation, and navigation—all built with Tailwind CSS's native features like hooks (React), composition API (Vue), or directives (Angular).
PostgreSQL
What PostgreSQL-specific features are leveraged in these boilerplates?
PostgreSQL boilerplates utilize the database's native capabilities including its transaction model (ACID for SQL, eventual consistency for NoSQL), indexing strategies (B-tree, GiST, full-text search), and advanced features like JSON columns, array types, window functions, or document queries. The schema design takes advantage of PostgreSQL's strengths—whether that's PostgreSQL's JSONB, MySQL's full-text search, MongoDB's aggregation pipeline, or Redis's data structures.
Stripe
What Stripe API features are implemented?
Stripe boilerplates implement the provider's complete API suite including checkout sessions, subscription lifecycle management, customer portal, webhook event handling, and invoice generation. They use Stripe's latest API version with proper error handling, idempotency keys, and retry logic. The integration includes Stripe-specific features like payment intents, setup intents, subscription schedules, and tax calculation APIs.
JavaScript
What JavaScript-specific tools and libraries are included?
JavaScript boilerplates include the language's most popular and production-proven tools. This typically includes testing frameworks, linters, formatters, build tools, and package managers specific to JavaScript. You'll get pre-configured toolchains that enforce best practices, automated testing pipelines, and development environments optimized for JavaScript development workflows.
Python
What Python-specific tools and libraries are included?
Python boilerplates include the language's most popular and production-proven tools. This typically includes testing frameworks, linters, formatters, build tools, and package managers specific to Python. You'll get pre-configured toolchains that enforce best practices, automated testing pipelines, and development environments optimized for Python development workflows.
TypeScript
What TypeScript-specific tools and libraries are included?
TypeScript boilerplates include the language's most popular and production-proven tools. This typically includes testing frameworks, linters, formatters, build tools, and package managers specific to TypeScript. You'll get pre-configured toolchains that enforce best practices, automated testing pipelines, and development environments optimized for TypeScript development workflows.
Django
How does Django's ORM/database layer work in these boilerplates?
Django boilerplates use the framework's native ORM or query builder (Prisma, Eloquent, Active Record, SQLAlchemy, etc.) with pre-configured models for users, subscriptions, teams, and common SaaS entities. They include optimized queries, relationships, migrations, seeders, and database connection pooling. The implementation leverages Django's specific features like eager loading, query scopes, and transaction handling for performance.
Hotwire
How does Hotwire's ORM/database layer work in these boilerplates?
Hotwire boilerplates use the framework's native ORM or query builder (Prisma, Eloquent, Active Record, SQLAlchemy, etc.) with pre-configured models for users, subscriptions, teams, and common SaaS entities. They include optimized queries, relationships, migrations, seeders, and database connection pooling.
