Introduction:

Starting a new project often involves hours of setup: configuring backend frameworks, setting up frontend libraries, and choosing databases. What if you could skip all that and dive straight into coding your core features? Introducing a fullstack boilerplate designed for developers who want a robust foundation with Python, JavaScript, and a variety of databases to get their projects up and running fast.

What’s Inside the Boilerplate?

This boilerplate brings together popular backend frameworks like Django, Flask, and Pyramid with modern frontend libraries React.js and Vue.js. To add even more flexibility, it supports both SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Qdrant for vector storage) in a fully Dockerized setup.

Here’s a breakdown of what makes this boilerplate the ultimate choice for your next MVP, prototype, or proof-of-concept project:

1. Modular Flexibility with Backend and Frontend Choices

Whether you prefer Django’s all-in-one approach or Flask’s lightweight feel, this boilerplate has you covered. Each backend comes with essential APIs for user registration, login, and token-based authentication to handle user sessions securely. The frontend, powered by React and Vue, provides a starting point to interact with these APIs right out of the box.

2. Token-Based Authentication

The boilerplate uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure, token-based authentication, making it easy to build single-page applications with either React or Vue. This approach also supports role-based access, so you can define permissions as needed for your application.

3. Seamless Database Integration

Using Docker, this setup includes configurations for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Qdrant, so you can store and query data with flexibility. Need SQL for relational data? Use MySQL or PostgreSQL. Working with NoSQL or vector databases? MongoDB and Qdrant are just a few steps away.

4. Built-In Common APIs

Don’t waste time setting up routes from scratch. This boilerplate includes commonly-used API routes to get you started fast:

  • /api/register – Register new users securely
  • /api/login – Log in and retrieve tokens
  • User and Permission Management – Simple test routes to demonstrate role-based access control, ensuring users only see what they’re authorized to access.

Getting Started in Minutes

  1. Clone the repository and choose your backend and frontend combination.
  2. Run docker-compose up to start services for your chosen databases and application.
  3. Use predefined commands to migrate databases, start the server, and test endpoints.

Within minutes, you’ll have a fully functional stack, ready for customization.

Perfect for Prototypes, POCs, and MVPs

This boilerplate is ideal for developers looking to move quickly from concept to execution. With its modular design, it’s easy to swap in a different framework or database if your project requirements evolve. This flexibility gives you the freedom to experiment with different tech stacks and to scale up smoothly if your MVP turns into a production-ready product.

Final Thoughts

If you’re working on your next big idea, why start from scratch? This fullstack boilerplate provides the building blocks for backend, frontend, and databases to help you bring your concept to life in record time. Ready to dive in? Clone the repository, fire up Docker, and start building today!
