Question 1

What is Eden Stack?

Accepted Answer

Eden Stack is a production-ready full-stack monorepo for building AI-native SaaS applications. It includes: TanStack Start for the web app with SSR, an embedded Elysia API server with Eden Treaty for end-to-end type-safe API calls, Neon PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM and pgvector for embeddings, Better Auth for authentication (email/password + OAuth), Stripe for payments and subscriptions, Resend with React Email for transactional emails, Inngest for durable background jobs and cron scheduling, PostHog for analytics, Sentry for error tracking, Cloudflare R2 for file storage, and Remotion with ElevenLabs for AI-powered video generation. Everything is pre-configured, type-safe, and ready to deploy.

Question 2

What AI features are included?

Accepted Answer

Eden Stack includes a comprehensive AI suite: Vercel AI SDK integration for chat completions and streaming responses, agent networks using Inngest AgentKit for complex multi-step reasoning tasks, Exa deep research API for web search and analysis with citations, durable agents that survive server restarts and run reliably for long tasks, and AI-powered video generation with Remotion and ElevenLabs voiceovers. The AI package supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers.

Question 3

What makes it 'AI-native'?

Accepted Answer

Eden Stack is designed from the ground up for AI-assisted development. It includes Claude skills that encode institutional knowledge about every integration, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for AI-powered project setup, structured documentation that AI assistants can leverage, and patterns optimized for agentic workflows. The architecture follows the evolution of AI apps — from chatbots to workflows to autonomous agents — and the template evolves with these patterns.

Question 4

How does the type-safe API work?

Accepted Answer

Elysia automatically infers types from your API routes, and Eden Treaty generates a fully-typed client with zero codegen. Change a database column in Drizzle → get compile errors in your React components. This end-to-end type safety eliminates entire categories of bugs and makes refactoring safe. The same typed client works for both web (TanStack Start) and mobile (Expo).

Question 5

What's included in the purchase?

Accepted Answer

You get full access to the private GitHub repository containing: the complete monorepo with web, API, and mobile apps, all shared packages (auth, payments, email, jobs, AI, storage, analytics, observability), 60+ pre-built primitives, production infrastructure configuration, comprehensive documentation, and Claude skills for AI-assisted development. Premium tier adds a 1-hour video consultation, architecture review of your startup idea, idea validation, and context engineering guidance.

Question 6

Do I get lifetime updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you purchase, you get lifetime access to the repository and all future updates. As AI-native patterns evolve — from chatbots to workflows to agents — the template evolves with them. New integrations, improvements, and best practices are continuously added, and you'll automatically have access to everything.

Question 7

What tech stack does it use?

Accepted Answer

Core: TanStack Start (React SSR/SSG), Elysia (Bun-native API), Eden Treaty (type-safe client), Neon PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM. Auth & Payments: Better Auth, Stripe. Communication: Resend + React Email, Inngest (background jobs + cron). AI: Vercel AI SDK, Inngest AgentKit, Exa research API. Observability: PostHog analytics, Sentry error tracking. Storage: Cloudflare R2. Video: Remotion + ElevenLabs. All TypeScript, managed with Bun.

Question 8

Is there mobile app support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Eden Stack includes an Expo React Native app that shares the same type-safe API client (Eden Treaty) as the web app. This means your mobile app gets the same compile-time type safety, authentication, and API integration as your web app with minimal additional code. Even better: there's a Claude hook that automatically detects when you modify web routes and prompts you to implement the corresponding mobile screen — perfect if you love web dev but want to ensure mobile feature parity, or if you just need to ship fast knowing both platforms get the same attention to quality.

Question 9

How do background jobs work?

Accepted Answer

Eden Stack uses Inngest for durable background functions. Jobs survive server restarts, automatically retry on failure, and can be scheduled or delayed. You can create step functions with checkpoints, fan-out to process items in parallel, schedule cron jobs, and run long-running AI agents reliably. There's a local dev server with a dashboard for debugging.

Question 10

How is this different from other starter templates?

Accepted Answer

Most templates solve the 'get started' problem but leave you hitting walls at scale. Eden Stack is built from real production experience: it handles auth edge cases, payment webhook failures, and mobile inconsistencies out of the box. It's AI-native with agent capabilities, not AI as an afterthought. And it includes Claude skills that encode institutional knowledge, so AI assistants understand the exact patterns and generate consistent code.

Question 11

Do I need to know all the technologies?

Accepted Answer

No. Each integration is self-contained in its own module under src/lib/ with clear exports and patterns. The documentation covers everything from quick start to advanced patterns. Plus, the Claude skills help you learn as you build — ask your AI assistant how things work and it'll give you answers specific to this codebase.

Question 12

Can I use it for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can use Eden Stack to build and ship as many commercial projects as you want. There are no restrictions on what you build, no recurring fees, and no revenue sharing.

Question 13

Can I customize everything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You own the code. Every integration, component, and configuration is fully customizable. There are no proprietary abstractions or vendor lock-in — it's just well-structured TypeScript that you can modify however you need. Swap out any service, add your own integrations, or restructure as needed.

Question 14

How do I get support?

Accepted Answer

For general questions, reach out at hello@mail.eden-stack.com. Premium tier customers get a dedicated 1-hour video consultation covering architecture review of your startup idea, idea validation, strategy guidance, and context engineering for AI-assisted development.

Question 15

What's the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Due to the digital nature of the product (instant access to the full source code), we generally do not offer refunds. If you have concerns about whether Eden Stack is right for your project, please reach out to hello@mail.eden-stack.com before purchasing.
