How to Launch SaaS in 30 Minutes with Booster Template

Introduction

Want to build a SaaS but feeling overwhelmed by complex initial setup? Login systems, payment integration, database configuration... Building all of this from scratch could take not just days, but weeks.

But what if you could complete this entire process in just 30 minutes? With Booster template, it's possible. In this article, we'll walk through how to quickly launch a SaaS with integrated Clerk authentication, Lemon Squeezy payments, and Supabase database, step by step.

Why Templates Matter

Even in the age of Vibe Coding, templates are essential. Starting development without a template is like bringing in an excavator and digging the ground yourself when you want to build a house. Sure, it's possible, but incredibly inefficient.

The efficient approach is to build a solid foundation with a proven code template, then add your own business logic and features on top of it using Vibe Coding.

Key Benefits of Using Templates

1. Stability in Critical Features

If bugs occur in core features like login functionality, your entire service can break. Templates provide proven code that has been thoroughly tested, significantly reducing the risk of issues in basic functionality.

2. Reduced Development Time

Save time on complex initial setup and basic feature implementation. Invest that time in creating actual business value instead.

3. No Expert Knowledge Required

Build production-level SaaS without deep understanding of complex technologies like authentication, payments, and database integration.

Choosing a Proven Tech Stack

Booster template uses a proven tech stack. Let's explore why each technology was chosen.

Why Clerk

Clerk vs Supabase Auth

Using Supabase auth requires mandatory use of the Supabase SDK. The problem is that the SDK's internal logic is hidden and unintuitive. Clerk, on the other hand, has clear and stable internal logic, and most importantly, beautiful design. It's the best choice considering both user experience and developer experience.

Why Supabase

Supabase vs Firestore

Firebase is a non-relational database (NoSQL). Since most SaaS applications are composed of relational data, using a relational database is much more natural. Supabase is built on the powerful Postgres database, allowing you to leverage both type safety and the power of SQL.

Why Lemon Squeezy

Lemon Squeezy easily supports international payments and handles complex subscription logic for you. For example, it automatically processes complex logic like allowing users to continue using the service until their paid period ends even after canceling their subscription.

Implementation Steps

Now let's walk through the actual process of launching a SaaS step by step.

Step 1: Create Project in Booster

First, create a project in Booster and refine your plan. Using the AI PRD wizard, you can generate a systematic PRD simply by answering a few questions.

Step 2: Connect Booster MCP

Connect Booster MCP to Cursor or other AI coding tools. This allows you to directly check and utilize tasks during development.

Step 3: Initialize Project with CLI

First, install the Vooster CLI:

npm i -g @vooster/cli

Then initialize your project:

vooster init

This single command generates the entire project structure. It's organized as a monorepo:

• apps/www: Landing page
• apps/app: SaaS main page (dashboard)

Managed in a single codebase while deployed separately to different domains.

Step 4: Install Dependencies and Run

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Step 5: Connect Supabase

1. Create Supabase project
2. Set environment variables (.env.local)
3. Run DB migration

pnpm db:push

Step 6: Connect Clerk

1. Create Clerk application
2. Set environment variables
3. Configure webhooks (for database sync on user create/update)

Step 7: Connect Lemon Squeezy

1. Create Lemon Squeezy store
2. Set up products and pricing plans
3. Configure webhooks (for database sync on subscription status changes)
4. Set environment variables

Step 8: Deploy to Vercel

1. Create GitHub repository and push code
2. Connect project in Vercel
3. Set environment variables
4. Deployment complete

You can complete this entire process in just 30 minutes!

Development with AI

Even while using Booster template, you can fully leverage the power of Vibe Coding. Looking at actual development ratios:

• 75%: Vibe Coding (AI writes code)
• 25%: Manual coding (defining requirements and detailed decisions)

How to Effectively Use AI

AI can code well, but you need to know how to use it well to increase productivity. Here's the key:

What Developers Should Do

• Define requirements
• Decide implementation details
• Set architectural direction

What to Delegate to AI

• Actual code writing
• Repetitive boilerplate code
• Basic test code

With this division of roles, developers can focus on core business logic and user experience, while AI writes code quickly and accurately.

Conclusion

Booster template significantly lowers the barrier to SaaS launch. Instead of wasting time on complex initial setup and basic feature implementation, you can start developing business logic immediately on top of a proven template.

Starting with Clerk authentication, Lemon Squeezy payments, and Supabase database already integrated, you can focus solely on creating your unique value.

Templates are just the starting point. Build your foundation quickly with Booster template, then realize your own ideas with Vibe Coding. 30 minutes is all you need.
