I Got Tired of Rebuilding Auth, Billing, and AI Features for Every SaaS

Short summary

Building an AI SaaS's hardest part isn't the AI—it's the infrastructure (auth, billing, webhooks, usage limits) around it. The author outlines an essential checklist and introduces StackBlaze, a starter kit to avoid rebuilding this foundation repeatedly. Founders should prioritize shipping actual products over perfecting infrastructure on every attempt.

• •Most AI SaaS projects fail not from weak AI features but from missing infrastructure (auth, billing, usage tracking, webhooks)
• •A production-ready foundation requires Next.js, Stripe, Postgres, proper error handling, and deployment setup—repeated across projects
• •StackBlaze is the author's starter kit to accelerate SaaS launches by eliminating repetitive scaffolding work

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
