Builder's picks
Recommended stack
01Build the app
02Refine the code
Use Cursor or Claude Code to iterate on your codebase, debug issues and add tests. Review the changes before shipping them.
03Database & auth
Supabase brings Postgres and authentication together so your app can store data and identify users. Set up access policies before connecting real customer data.
04Payments & subscriptions
Stripe handles checkout, subscriptions and billing. Connect verified payment webhooks to your app so access follows the customer's subscription status.
05Deploy
Deploy your web app on Vercel with preview deployments for each change. Confirm your framework is supported and configure production environment variables.
06Transactional email
Use Resend for welcome messages, receipts and product notifications. Verify your sending domain before emailing customers.
