Iridium
Project Overview
Iridium is a production-ready SaaS boilerplate that gets you from idea to launch faster. Built on modern React Router 7 with TypeScript, it includes authentication via BetterAuth, subscription billing through Polar.sh, and PostgreSQL. Prisma for your database, Vercel AI SDK for integration with OpenAI (or LLM of your choice), analytics with PostHog, and a beautiful DaisyUI component library mean you can focus on building your unique features instead of reinventing the wheel. Whether you're a solo founder or a development team, Iridium provides the solid foundation you need to ship faster.
Knowledge Gained
Gained deep expertise in integrating modern authentication systems, implementing subscription-based billing models, and structuring a production-grade SaaS application. Learned best practices for combining multiple third-party services into a cohesive stack, managing environment configurations securely, and creating reusable boilerplate architecture that accelerates future projects.
The Impact
Enables developers to launch SaaS products weeks faster by eliminating the need to build and integrate foundational features from scratch. Reduces time-to-market significantly, allowing teams to focus on unique product features and business value rather than authentication flows, payment integration, and database setup. Provides a solid foundation that minimizes technical debt and security vulnerabilities.
