SaaS Stack Guide

This guide exists to compress common SaaS decisions into one strong path, not to add a larger tool menu.

For a typical startup SaaS, ORCA Framework should recommend a bundle instead of a menu:

• Next.js
• Vercel
• Supabase
• Stripe
• Resend
• PostHog
• Sentry
• GitHub
• Linear

Why This Bundle

• app shell and product surface
• deploy path
• auth and data
• billing
• transactional email
• analytics and monitoring
• build and project workflow

When To Deviate

• choose Cloudflare for edge-heavy or worker-heavy patterns
• choose Railway for simpler backend hosting or internal tooling
• choose Paddle or LemonSqueezy when merchant-of-record needs outweigh Stripe fit
