A full-stack monorepo template for building SaaS applications with React 19, tRPC, and Cloudflare Workers. Type-safe from database to UI, deployable to the edge in minutes.
Highlights
- Type-safe full stack — TypeScript, tRPC, and Drizzle ORM create a single type contract from database to UI
- Edge-native — Three Cloudflare Workers (web, app, api) connected via service bindings
- Auth + billing included — Better Auth with email OTP, passkey, Google OAuth, organizations, and Stripe subscriptions
- Modern React — React 19, TanStack Router (file-based), TanStack Query, Jotai, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui
- Database ready — Drizzle ORM with Neon PostgreSQL, migrations, and seed data
- Fast DX — Bun runtime, Vite, Vitest, ESLint, Prettier, and pre-configured VS Code settings

Each app deploys independently to Cloudflare Workers. The web worker routes /api/* to the API worker and app routes to the app worker via service bindings.
Prerequisites
- Bun v1.3+ (replaces Node.js and npm)
- VS Code with our recommended extensions
- React Developer Tools browser extension (recommended)
- Cloudflare account for deployment
Quick Start
1. Create Your Project
Generate a new repository from this template, then clone it locally:
bashgit clone https://github.com/your-username/your-project-name.git cd your-project-name
2. Install Dependencies
bashbun install
3. Configure Environment
This project follows Vite env conventions:
.envis committed and contains shared defaults/placeholders only (no real secrets).env.localis git-ignored and should contain your real credentials.env.localvalues override.env
bashcp .env .env.local # then replace placeholder values with real ones
Also check wrangler.jsonc for Worker configuration and bindings.
4. Start Development
bash# Launch all apps in development mode (web, api, and app) bun dev # Or, start specific apps individually bun web:dev # Marketing site bun app:dev # Main application bun api:dev # API server
5. Initialize Database
Ensure DATABASE_URL is configured in your .env.local file, then set up the schema:
bashbun db:push # Push schema directly (quick dev setup) bun db:seed # Seed with sample data (optional) bun db:studio # Open database GUI
For production, use bun db:migrate to apply migrations instead of db:push.
| App | URL |
|---|---|
| React app | http://localhost:5173 |
| Marketing site | http://localhost:4321 |
| API server | http://localhost:8787 |
Production Deployment
1. Environment Setup
Configure your production secrets in Cloudflare Workers:
bash# Required secrets bun wrangler secret put BETTER_AUTH_SECRET # Stripe billing (optional — first 4 required to enable, annual is optional) bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_SECRET_KEY bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_STARTER_PRICE_ID bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_PRO_PRICE_ID bun wrangler secret put STRIPE_PRO_ANNUAL_PRICE_ID # optional # OAuth providers (as needed) bun wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID bun wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET # Email service bun wrangler secret put RESEND_API_KEY # AI features (optional) bun wrangler secret put OPENAI_API_KEY
Run these commands from the target app directory or pass --config apps/<app>/wrangler.jsonc. Non-sensitive vars like RESEND_EMAIL_FROM go in wrangler.jsonc directly.
2. Build and Deploy
bash# Build packages that require compilation (order matters!) bun email:build # Build email templates first bun web:build # Build marketing site bun app:build # Build main React app # Deploy all applications bun web:deploy # Deploy marketing site bun api:deploy # Deploy API server bun app:deploy # Deploy main React app
