Hi Everyone, this might be a silly question, but was just wondering if anyone out there has developed a complete SaaS solution using SST? Are there any boilerplates or templates available? Ideally the auth and payment are already pre-baked, and I'd be able to focus on the app functionality.

we're progessing in this direction but we're not there yet

Thanks for the info, this is great so far!

Just curious. Why are we rolling our own auth instead of using Amplify

Amplify works but I'm not a fan of it

For sure. I’d just like to understand why, the tradeoffs. Gotcha I see.

And when I looked at the internals I didn't get the feeling of "the people working on this are smarter than me" which is my criteria for most of the things we've selected

My only experience with auth really is Amplify and Amplify-UI-react

Yeah that's in there for now but we're likely going to remove it

If i have issues/comments on the ideal stack. create an issue in github'?

My advice on payments is don't even try to do it yourself. Use something like Stripe and you don't have to worry about compliance and any security issues.

yep would just be a thought through integration with stripe

Btw, on the auth-side, I agree with you on that Cognito sucks. Do you have any other recommendations currently? I trialled Auth0 recently and it just seems marginally better but not enough for us to move across.

I'm fairly confused here as well I have the perfect auth flow implemented for a b2b service but it's all hand rolled. I have not been able to recreate with any other auth provider and I need to sit down and find clarity on what parts of it makes sense to outsource

Yea fair, Well, maybe you guys could launch another company/project haha. I definitely am interested!
