About reelstorage

reelstorage is an opinionated full-stack boilerplate designed to help developers ship production-ready SaaS applications faster. We've made the technical decisions so you can focus on building your unique features.

Our Mission

To provide developers with a modern, well-architected starting point that includes all the essential features needed for a SaaS application, while maintaining flexibility and following best practices.

Why We Built This

After building numerous SaaS applications, we noticed we were solving the same problems over and over: authentication, database setup, API structure, testing, deployment, and more.

reelstorage consolidates years of experience into a single, cohesive starting point that lets you skip the boilerplate and jump straight into building your product.
