Hello, world
SynapseKit is live: the self-hosted SaaS boilerplate that runs your whole stack on one VPS. Here is what shipped and what comes next.
This is the launch post that ships with the template. Keep the structure, replace the substance — it is the announcement your product will publish on day one.
Today we are launching SynapseKit: a self-hosted SaaS boilerplate for people who want to own their stack and skip the usage bills.
What it is
One codebase and one compose file that give you the entire boring-but-essential surface of a SaaS:
- Authentication with magic links and Google, plus organizations and roles
- Stripe subscriptions wired to a single config file
- Transactional email, file storage, background jobs, and realtime updates
- A marketing site, pricing page, dashboard, and admin — already styled
All of it runs on a single VPS you control, for a flat monthly bill measured in single digits of euros.
Who it is for
Builders shipping small, serious products — indie hackers, two-person teams, agencies spinning up client SaaS — who would rather resize a server once a year than audit a metered invoice every month.
We built this because we were tired of pricing pages that scale with our success instead of our costs.
What comes next
This blog is where we will publish honest numbers, teardown posts, and everything we learn running products on this stack. The next two posts are already drafted: our cost math for self-hosting, and why every product we start begins as a waitlist.
Try it, break it, tell us what is missing. Sign in and poke around — the whole point is that there is nothing between you and the stack.
