Jumpstart

Jumpstart is a comprehensive Ruby on Rails SaaS boilerplate created by Chris Oliver, designed to accelerate SaaS application development. Built on the powerful Rails framework and featuring seamless integration with Hotwire, TailwindCSS, and multiple payment processors (Stripe, Paddle, PayPal, Braintree), it provides a robust foundation for modern web applications.

Trusted by numerous developers worldwide, Jumpstart dramatically reduces development time by providing production-ready features out of the box. The boilerplate maintains exceptional code quality with regular updates to the latest Rails versions (currently Rails 8.0 ready) and follows Rails best practices. It offers a Git-based upgrade system ensuring your application stays current with the latest improvements and security updates.

Perfect for entrepreneurs and development teams looking to launch SaaS products quickly, Jumpstart excels in scenarios requiring multi-tenancy, team collaboration, and scalable authentication systems. Its comprehensive feature set particularly benefits teams who need to focus on their unique business logic rather than building common SaaS infrastructure.

The platform delivers significant technical advantages through its pre-configured development environment, including staging setup, API scaffolding, and integrated development tools. Developers benefit from streamlined workflows with features like user impersonation, internationalization support, and built-in notification systems. The included Hotwire integration enables modern, reactive interfaces without complex JavaScript frameworks.
