Cloud Stack for AI Apps — Mastery

Vercel + Supabase + Stripe + Resend + AWS, wired together so an AI product ships in days, not quarters. The opinionated reference.

  1. Part 01The Opinionated AI Product StackChoosing infrastructure is where weeks vanish. Here is a default stack that lets a small team ship an AI product in days — and when to deviate.
  2. Part 02Next.js on Vercel — The App LayerOne framework for UI, API and server rendering; one platform that deploys on git push. The app layer should be the part you never think about.
  3. Part 03Supabase — Postgres, Auth & Storage in OneReal Postgres, auth, file storage and pgvector behind one SDK. For an AI product, having your data and your vectors in the same database is a quiet superpower.
  4. Part 04Stripe — Payments & SubscriptionsCharging money is a solved problem — if you let Stripe solve it. Checkout, subscriptions, and the webhook that is the real source of truth.
  5. Part 05Resend — Transactional Email That LandsThe receipt, the download link, the password reset — if they hit spam, your product feels broken. Deliverability is a feature.
  6. Part 06AWS — When You Outgrow the Managed PathThe managed stack covers 90% of an AI product. AWS is the escape hatch for the other 10% — long jobs, GPU inference, large files. Use it surgically.
  7. Part 07Secrets, Env & Config Across EnvironmentsFive services, three environments, one leaked key away from a bad week. Config discipline is unglamorous and non-negotiable.
  8. Part 08Shipping in Days — The Wiring PlaybookThe whole stack assembled into a build order: from empty repo to a paid, emailing, AI-powered product in a working week.
