Frequently Asked Questions
What does the full stack look like? â–¼
The package comes with some main components:
- A Django Backend: Django ORM, django all-auth, djstripe, django rest framework for APIs, payment permission classes, etc...
- A React SPA: TypeScript services to integrate with the payment and auth APIs, components to handle all major auth / payment flows. Routing based on all-auths flow system. Styled with the ability to switch themes or create your own themes. Making it super simple to add in what makes your application unique.
- An Astro Static Site: We've opted to create a dedicated static site for marketing and blog related content. You can take advantage of Astro for quick content development (markdown blogs), the insanely fast site loading times, and awesome SEO.
- Docker containers: all of the above are set up leveraging Docker making it super easy to deploy.
- Traefik: networking between containers comes preconfigured with automatic SSL during deployment. Everything is hosted on one domain (no subdomains).
Why Django? â–¼
With a lot of new startups leaning into AI and machine learning, a Python backend makes deployment that much easier. Apps including Instagram, Dropbox, YouTube, Robinhood, and many more have proven Django's ability to scale.
Does it have email integrations? â–¼
Yes! The application comes preconfigured with the ability to add any major host. The example provided uses Mailgun as a host, but you are welcome to use any other email host you find fit. It also includes a number of email templates for auth to prevent vendor lock-in.
How come you aren't using XYZ framework? â–¼
We aim to create a balance between minimalism and maximizing the important features. Unlike many open source starter kits, you won't be downloading a ton of dependencies. We make sure dependencies we do use are well maintained and have been for several years.
What is Astro? â–¼
Astro is a JavaScript web framework optimized for building fast, content-driven websites. Go check it out: astro.build
Are there refunds? â–¼
Once you get access to the code, it can't be refunded.
Who are you? â–¼
I'm an entrepreneur! I've been working together with my brother for the past 15 years on various projects and startups and we decided to make it easier for ourselves by building this starter kit. Once we built it, we realized others would find it useful as well!
