next-forge
Open SourceProduction-grade Turborepo template for Next.js apps — app, web, docs and API workspaces pre-wired with auth, database, payments, email, CMS, observability, and feature flags via swappable packages. Open-source.
Why we recommend next-forge
next-forge answers the question mega-boilerplates dodge: how do you structure a Next.js product as it grows past one app? It's a Turborepo monorepo with separate workspaces for the product app, marketing site, docs and API, plus a packages layer where every third-party concern (auth, database, payments, email, analytics, feature flags, CMS) lives behind its own package boundary — so swapping the auth provider is a package change, not a codebase-wide hunt. Started by Hayden Bleasel and adopted into the Vercel orbit, it encodes how modern web startups actually organize repos, and it's free.
Best use cases
Best for: teams starting a product they know will grow (app + site + docs from day one), developers who want vendor decisions isolated behind interfaces they can later swap, and agencies that need a defensible, documented monorepo standard across client projects.
Honest limitations
Not for: solo weekend projects — the monorepo machinery is real overhead when one app would do. Its defaults lean on hosted services (Clerk, Neon, Resend, etc.), so the out-of-box experience assumes you accept several vendor free tiers. Swapping many defaults at once erodes the time savings that justify the template.
