This project provides a free, open-source starter template for building Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications using React and Node.js. It targets developers looking for a feature-rich foundation to accelerate SaaS development, offering pre-integrated solutions for common functionalities.

Wasp provides end-to-end type safety between frontend and backend, simplifying data flow and reducing boilerplate. It also includes built-in support for jobs (background tasks/queues) and one-command deployment to platforms like Fly.io.
