Getting Started
Introduction
What Slicekit is, who it is for, and how the documentation is organised.
What is Slicekit?
Slicekit is a premium, full-stack SaaS boilerplate: an event-driven .NET 10 API (vertical slice + DDD + CQRS and messaging) paired with a type-safe Vite + React SPA (vertical slice + TanStack + shadcn/ui). You buy it once, clone it and make it your own: the starting point for a real product, not a tutorial app.
The goal is simple: give you the foundation every SaaS needs (authentication, a typed API client, background messaging, storage, observability and CI), assembled and tested, so your first commit is a feature instead of a framework.
Who it is for
- Founders and small teams who want to start from a working system rather than an empty repo.
- Engineers who like vertical slices, explicit code and a mainstream stack you fully own, with no lock-in.
- Agents and AI tooling. The codebase ships
AGENTS.mdrouters and per-side conventions so automated contributors have the context they need.
How the docs are organised
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Getting Started | What ships in the box, install prerequisites, run the stack, repo layout. |
| Concepts | The design: architecture, vertical slices, DDD, CQRS, events and auth. |
| Backend guides | How-to recipes for the API: migrations, permissions, OAuth, files, more. |
| Frontend | The SPA: structure, the typed client, forms, languages and UI gating. |
| Operations | Configuration, observability, deployment and running behind a proxy. |

What you own
Slicekit is a one-time purchase under a commercial license, not a subscription or a hosted service. Once you buy it, the entire repository is yours: clone it, delete what you do not need, and keep the parts that save you weeks. Lifetime updates are included. See pricing for details.
