As you might know, building a SaaS is extremely difficult. Like many developers, I've underestimated the complexity of building a SaaS product and overestimated my programming skill.

In this article, I want to share the technology stack I used to build my React Boilerplate and I reuse it for all my SaaS applications. It helps me to reduce my setup and programming time by 80%.

## React for frontend

Fully built in React with TypeScript and styled with Tailwind CSS, it makes the code more modular and makes the UI components reusable.

I use NextJS framework to build my React application in static mode (SSG). At build time, all the application is pre-rendered. Perfect for SEO and cheap hosting.

NextJS also provides more features. [Checkout their website for more information](https://nextjs.org)

I also recommend using two dependencies for the frontend: `react-hook-form` for form management in React and `AWS amplify`, it connects the React frontend to the backend (hosted in the AWS cloud).

## Serverless Backend

As an indie maker, it's extremely time-consuming to manage and provision a backend. I choose serverless to host my backend by making my life easier when my SaaS goes public. I don't need to worry about scaling and server management.

I use Serverless framework to build the serverless backend. Compatible with major cloud providers, I choose to deploy on AWS in one command. With Serverless framework, I can also test locally on my computer before pushing to production.

## AWS Cloud Infrastructure

Serverless framework is extremely easy to use but sometimes, it quite limiting. To go further in cloud infrastructure, I use AWS CDK. By using AWS CDK, I can define my cloud resources in code. It makes the infrastructure easy to customize, share and reuse.

Good news! You can use your most loved programming language. In my case, I use TypeScript and write my infrastructure stack entirely in TypeScript. 100% compatible with your IDE and your version control like Git.

## Nextless.js, Next JS SaaS starter

It took me several months (5 months) to build my first SaaS products. I definitively think this time can be reduced by 80%. Building a React SaaS application should only take one month for its first version.

As an indie maker, you shouldn't lose time with boring configuration and setup. With [Nextless.js React SaaS Boilerplate](https://nextlessjs.com), you can focus on what makes your SaaS unique. You can now launch faster your application and quickly get user feedback.
