Welcome to Tanship

Tanship is a boilerplate for TanStack Start that handles the tedious setup for you.

We've already wired up the essentials—authentication, a database, file storage, and even these docs—so you can skip the configuration grind and start building your actual product today.

The Core Idea

The goal is simple: get you from a new idea to a deployed app faster.

• A Solid Foundation: We've chosen and connected a modern, type-safe stack. You get Drizzle ORM with Postgres, robust authentication, and S3 storage right out of the box.
• Built for Real Apps: This isn't a toy. With features like role-based permissions and asset storage, you have the tools needed for a real-world product.
• Great Developer Experience: We lean on the power of TanStack and TypeScript to give you a clean, maintainable, and enjoyable codebase to work in.

Skip the Setup Hell

Stop wasting your first few days wrestling with auth libraries, ORM setup, and storage configs. With Tanship, you clone the repo and start writing your application's unique features immediately.
