Features

Features as Plugins

Pre-built, production-ready features that drop into your React app. Routes, APIs, database schemas, SEO, and UI—all typed, tested, and ready to customize.

Full-Stack Per Plugin

Each plugin provides routes, API handlers, database schema, metadata, sitemap, Page routes, React components, hooks, and loaders. Everything you need in one import.

Composable Plugins

Each plugin is self-contained with its own routes, components, and database schema. Combine them as needed—blog, newsletter, feedback—they work independently or together.

Framework Agnostic

First-class support for Next.js, React Router, TanStack Router, and Remix. Same plugin code, any modern framework. Migrate without rewriting features.

SSR & SEO Built-in

Server-side rendering with data prefetching. Automatic metadata and sitemap generation for SEO. Works with your existing SSR setup.

Zero Config Required

Sensible defaults out of the box. No manual route wiring, no query client setup. Configure only what you need to customize.

TypeScript Native

End-to-end type safety from database to UI. Fully typed hooks, routes, and API responses. Autocomplete everywhere.

The Math

The 10x Engineer Decision

The 10x engineer isn't someone who types 10x faster. They're someone who makes decisions that yield 10x output for the same input.

Build it yourself

Spend months on features that don't differentiate your product.

Use plugins that work

Ship what actually matters to your customers and business.

What “building it yourself” actually costs

Feature	DIY Build Time	Plugin Setup	Time Saved
Blog & CMS	80-120 hrs	10 min	~100 hrs
AI Chat	80-120 hrs	10 min	~100 hrs
Headless CMS	60-100 hrs	10 min	~80 hrs
Form Builder	100-120 hrs	10 min	~110 hrs
Auth UI	30-45 hrs	10 min	~38 hrs
API Docs	30-50 hrs	2 min	~40 hrs
Route Docs	10-20 hrs	2 min	~15 hrs
Total	390-575 hrs	54 min	~482 hrs

At $100/hour, that's

$48,200

in engineering time saved.

By adopting the Better Stack plugin ecosystem, you effectively raise a $48k seed round in engineering efficiency— without giving up equity.

The market doesn't reward you for the complexity of your code.

It rewards you for the utility of your product.Stop building infrastructure. Start building value.

Architecture

How It Actually Works

No magic. Just good architecture.

Backend Plugin

blog: blogBackendPlugin()

Exports database schema + API handler. Supports Prisma, Drizzle, Kysely, MongoDB and more.

Client Plugin

blog: blogClientPlugin({})

Provides routes, page components, metadata, and sitemap generation. You choose your framework (Next.js, React Router, TanStack Router, etc).

Override Anything

Link: NextLink,
Image: NextImage

Inject your framework's components. Swap UI. Customize logic. It's your codebase.

Building from scratch

• Week 1: Database schema, migrations
• Week 2: API routes, authentication
• Week 3: UI components, forms, validation
• Week 4: SSR, metadata, error handling
= 4 weeks minimum

With Better Stack

• Minute 1: Install package
• Minute 2: Add backend plugin
• Minute 3: Add client plugin
• Minute 5: Generate schema, run migrations
= 5 minutes, working feature

Technology Stack

Works With Your Existing Stack

Better Stack doesn't replace your tools—it works with them. Use the ORM you already know, the framework you already use, and the database you already have. Zero lock-in, zero learning curve.
