Full Stack SaaS in a Weekend

Speed Comes From Systems

Building a SaaS product fast requires a solid stack and a clear sprint plan. After shipping BuildAI and ProposalIQ, I've developed a repeatable system.

My Stack

• Next.js — frontend and API routes
• Supabase or MongoDB — database and auth
• Prisma — type-safe ORM
• Paystack — Nigerian payment processing
• OpenRouter — AI features with free-model fallback
• Vercel — instant deployment

The Sprint System

I break every project into sprints: scaffold, auth, core feature, payments, deployment. Each sprint has a clear deliverable so I never lose momentum.

What I've Learned

Speed comes from reusing patterns across projects. Auth, payments, AI integration — these are solved problems. The only thing that changes is the core feature. Focus all your energy there.

After building ProposalIQ and BuildAI back to back, I can now go from idea to deployed SaaS in under a week.
