AI Template

May 1, 2026 · View on GitHub

Multi-tenant SaaS boilerplate built on FastAPI + authx + Next.js. Every feature toggleable via env vars; ship a production-ready SaaS in a weekend.

What you get

Organizations / Workspaces with per-org data isolation (every tenant row carries org_id).
Roles: Owner / Admin / Member, mapped to authx scopes with wildcard support (org:members:*).
JWT scoped to org — switch orgs and the access token is re-issued with the new org_id and computed scopes.
API keys per organization with scoped permissions, validated via X-API-Key.
Email invitations — or token-link only when email delivery is disabled.
Optional, all gated by FEATURE_* env vars: OAuth (Google/GitHub), magic-link, real email delivery (Resend/SMTP), Stripe billing, Pydantic AI + LLM Gateway (chat + demo agents), Logfire observability, audit log, rate limiting.

Stack

Layer	Tech
Backend	FastAPI, Pydantic v2, authx 1.6.0, SQLAlchemy 2 async, Alembic, Postgres 17, Redis 7, uv
Frontend	Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind v4, Framer Motion, Zod, bun
Admin Portal	Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind v4, Framer Motion, Zod, bun
Optional	Pydantic AI, LLM Gateway, Pydantic Logfire, Resend, Stripe, Authlib

Quick start

Prereqs: uv ≥ 0.5, bun ≥ 1.3, Docker.

Option A: run everything with Docker (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/yezz123/ai-template && cd ai-template
cp .env.example .env

make stack-build
make stack-up
make stack-ps

Backend: http://localhost:8000 (OpenAPI UI: http://localhost:8000/docs)
Frontend: http://localhost:3000
Admin: http://localhost:3001
Mailpit: http://localhost:8025

make stack-logs

Option B: run infra in Docker + apps locally (fast inner loop)

git clone https://github.com/yezz123/ai-template && cd ai-template
cp .env.example .env

make bootstrap          # uv sync + bun install
make up                 # postgres + redis + mailpit
make migrate            # alembic upgrade head

# In three separate terminals:
make dev-backend        # http://localhost:8000  (FastAPI + /docs)
make dev-frontend       # http://localhost:3000  (tenant app)
make dev-admin          # http://localhost:3001  (super-admin)

Feature flags

Every optional module is gated by an env var. Disabled features incur zero runtime cost — their routers are never registered, their dependencies never imported.

Flag	Default	Module
`FEATURE_API_KEYS`	`true`	API keys per org (`X-API-Key`)
`FEATURE_AUDIT_LOG`	`true`	Audit log of mutations
`FEATURE_RATE_LIMITING`	`true`	authx `RateLimiter` + Redis
`FEATURE_OAUTH`	`false`	Google + GitHub via Authlib
`FEATURE_MAGIC_LINK`	`false`	Passwordless
`FEATURE_EMAIL_DELIVERY`	`false`	Resend / SMTP
`FEATURE_AI_CHAT`	`false`	Pydantic AI + LLM Gateway
`FEATURE_LOGFIRE`	`false`	Pydantic Logfire tracing
`FEATURE_STRIPE`	`false`	Per-org subscriptions

Optional Python deps live behind pyproject.toml extras:

uv sync --extra ai --extra stripe       # only what you need
uv sync --extra all                     # everything

Frontend and Admin feature visibility is gated by NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_* vars which are baked into the Next.js bundle at build time (see .env.example).

Multi-tenancy model

Shared database, shared schema. Every tenant row has org_id UUID NOT NULL with composite indexes.
The active org lives in the JWT (data.org_id + data.role + scopes).
current_org FastAPI dep extracts the org from the token and every repository function takes it as a required argument.
POST /orgs/{slug}/switch re-issues the token pair with new claims.

Roles → scopes

ROLE_SCOPES = {
    Role.OWNER:  ["org:*"],
    Role.ADMIN:  ["org:members:*", "org:apikeys:*", "org:audit:read", "org:billing:read", "org:ai:*"],
    Role.MEMBER: ["org:read", "org:ai:use"],
}

Routes use auth.scopes_required(...) — wildcards ("org:*") match everything underneath.

Development

See per-app READMEs:

make test               # all suites
make lint               # ruff + next lint
make typecheck-backend  # mypy

Troubleshooting

CSRF 401s on POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: auth is cookie-based and expects X-CSRF-TOKEN. The Next.js clients automatically mirror the CSRF cookie into that header; if you’re rolling your own client, do the same.
Migrations failing inside Docker: migrate runs before backend. Rebuild images after changing deps: make stack-build && make stack-up.
OAuth not working locally: set FEATURE_OAUTH=true and add provider keys + callback URLs. Make sure APP_BASE_URL, FRONTEND_BASE_URL, and ADMIN_BASE_URL match where you’re running.
“Feature is missing in UI”: ensure both FEATURE_* (backend) and NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_* (frontend/admin) are enabled, and rebuild Next.js if using Docker (public env is baked at build time).
