What is Better Stack?

Better Stack lets you install production-ready app features as npm packages.

Instead of spending weeks building the same things again and again
(routes, APIs, database schemas, SSR, SEO, forms…):

npm install @btst/stack

Enable the features you need and keep building your product.

Examples of installable features

• Blog
• AI Chat
• CMS
• Newsletter
• Scheduling
• Kanban board
• Analytics dashboard
• Generic forms

Each feature ships frontend + backend together: routes, APIs, database models, React components, SSR, and SEO — already wired.

---

Why use it?

• Installable features – real product features, not just UI
• Framework-agnostic – Next.js, React Router, TanStack Router, Remix
• Database-flexible – Prisma, Drizzle, Kysely, MongoDB
• Zero boilerplate – no manual route or API wiring
• Type-safe – end-to-end TypeScript

You keep your codebase, database, and deployment.

Minimal usage

lib/better-stack.ts:

import { betterStack } from "@btst/stack"
import { blogBackendPlugin } from "@btst/stack/plugins/blog/api"

export const { handler } = betterStack({
  plugins: {
    blog: blogBackendPlugin(blogConfig)
  }
})

lib/better-stack-client.tsx:

import { createStackClient } from "@btst/stack/client"
import { blogClientPlugin } from "@btst/stack/plugins/blog/client"
import { QueryClient } from "@tanstack/react-query"

const client = createStackClient({
  plugins: {
    blog: blogClientPlugin(blogConfig)
  }
})

Now you have a working blog: API, DB schema, pages, SSR, and SEO.

Database schemas & migrations

Optional CLI to generate schemas and run migrations from enabled plugins:

npm install -D @btst/cli

Generate drizzle schema:

npx @btst/cli generate --orm drizzle --config lib/better-stack.ts --output db/schema.ts

Supports Prisma, Drizzle, MongoDB and Kysely SQL dialects.
