Trusted by Builders

See what developers and founders are saying about DreamStack.

"As an architect, my biggest fear with templates is the technical debt you inherit from day one. DreamStack is the first time I’ve seen a 'fast-start' tool actually respects good architecture. The ability to switch from Express to Hono isn't just a cool trick, it’s a massive insurance policy and longevity vote for your product. I’d actually trust this in a production environment."

"Usually, 'shipping fast' is just an excuse for making a mess that you have to clean up three months later. DreamStack changed that for me. Having a rock-solid foundation with 500+ core tests meant I could focus entirely on my AI logic instead of fighting with folder structures or architecture decisions. It’s the head start I wish I had for my last three projects."

"I’ve seen dozens of boilerplates, but DreamStack is the first I’d actually call 'Production-Grade.' The way it abstracts the framework layer is genius, switching frameworks and infra without touching business logic is a total game-changer for speed and scaling. If you're serious about your backend, this is the foundation you need."

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes DreamStack a "living" asset?

Most boilerplates become "technical debt" the moment a framework updates (e.g., Express 4 to 5 or Hono breaking changes). Because DreamStack decouples your business logic from the underlying framework, you get new updates or you can switch to a different framework without refactoring your entire app. You aren't just buying code; you're buying a foundation that evolves.

Why no decorators?

Because your business logic shouldn't be a science experiment.

Most 'advanced' boilerplates force you to use experimental TypeScript decorators. They look cool until you have to debug a silent injection failure or deal with breaking compiler updates.

DreamStack uses explicit Dependency Injection.

  • No @Injectable() magic.
  • No Reflect-Metadata overhead.

Just pure, standard TypeScript classes that are easy to test, easy to move, and easy to understand. If you can read a constructor, you can use DreamStack.

When do I get access after purchase?

Immediately. You'll receive a Gumroad download link with the full source code, documentation, and setup instructions within seconds of purchase.

Why are the tests so fast?

Three reasons:

  1. @swc/jest: 4-8x faster than traditional ts-jest compilation.
  2. Smart architecture: Prisma tests use cached template DBs + temp SQLite files. Mongoose tests use a shared MongoDB instance with isolated databases.
  3. Parallel execution: Tests run concurrently across CPU cores.

Result: 508 comprehensive production tests in ~10s. That's faster than most projects with 50 tests.

Can I trust this for a real SaaS?

Absolutely. DreamStack is the result of years of experience building high-traffic production systems, distilled into a single foundation. It features 508 tests passing in under 10 seconds, a framework-agnostic core, and a modular design that eliminated technical debt before you even wrote your first line of code. If it doesn't pass the tests, it doesn't ship.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee. If DreamStack doesn't save you time or meet your needs, simply reply to your purchase email for a full refund.

What exactly do I get?

You get the complete, uncompiled source code for DreamStack via instant download. It includes 7,300+ lines of production code, 10,000+ lines of tests, and 13+ guides. The codebase itself serves as a production-grade example of Auth, RBAC, and more.

Can I use this for client projects?

Yes! Launch Bonus: Both Early Bird and Standard plans currently include unlimited commercial rights for client and agency projects. This is a limited-time offer for early adopters. Future pricing may separate agency rights.

What if I need help or have questions?

All plans include access to our Discord community, featuring exclusive channels reserved for verified buyers. Early Bird users receive standard email support, while Standard plan members enjoy priority email assistance. Expect a response within 24 hours on weekdays.

Why framework flexibility?

TL;DR: Your business logic survives anything.

Having your codebase not tied to a specific framework saves you from "migration hell" in the future. If a framework becomes unmaintained, vulnerable, or you simply need to switch platforms (e.g., Node.js to Edge), your core logic remains untouched.

Why use Feature Modules instead of standard MVC?

In standard MVC, to change the "User" logic, you have to jump between /controllers, /services, and /models global folders. As you add 20 features, those folders become a graveyard of unrelated files.

DreamStack uses Vertical Slices. Everything related to a feature (Auth, Users, Billing) lives in its own features/ folder. It’s cleaner, faster to navigate, and makes onboarding new devs a breeze.

Why not just use a fullstack framework (Next.js/Remix)?

It comes down to Latency and Physics.

  • Frontend belongs on the Edge: Your UI should be globally distributed (Vercel, Cloudflare) to load instantly for users anywhere.
  • Backend belongs near the Database: Your API needs sub-10ms access to your data.

When you bundle them (monolithic fullstack), you often compromise on one. If you deploy everything to a single region, distant users get slow UI. If you deploy everything to the edge, your database queries become slow (waterfall requests).

DreamStack lets you keep your backend tight and fast next to your DB, while your frontend flies on the Edge.

How is this different from just using Express or Hono directly?

DreamStack includes 2-3 weeks of work you'd do anyway: authentication, OAuth, database setup, file uploads, pagination, testing, deployment configs, security hardening, and documentation. Plus the unique dual-framework architecture.
