Most solo founders spend the first 3 months of a project making the wrong infrastructure decisions. Not because they're bad devs — because nobody tells them which tools are worth paying for at zero revenue.

Here's the honest breakdown of what actually matters when you're building a SaaS alone:

Auth: Don't build it. Use Clerk or NextAuth. You have bigger problems.

Payments: Use a platform that handles disputes, retries, and tax for you. Every hour you spend on billing is an hour you didn't spend on your product.

Database: Supabase or Planetscale for 95% of indie projects. Pick one, ship.

Hosting: Vercel if you're on Next.js, Railway if you're running Docker. Anything else is yak shaving.

The real problem isn't finding the tools — it's knowing which ones to combine, in what order, without blowing your budget or your timeline.

That's what Toolstack Pro is about. Curated boilerplates, real tool stacks, and a private community of founders who've already made these mistakes so you don't have to.
