Introducing Colden

The Colden team1 min read

Most products spend their first months on the same work: sign-up and second factors, organizations and roles, invitations, a subscription with trials and invoices, the emails around them, an admin area, and the pipeline that deploys it all. Colden is that work, done once and kept in one repository.

What you get

  • An ASP.NET Core 10 api and worker, with PostgreSQL, Redis, durable queues and recurring jobs.
  • A Next.js web app on the Colden design system, with every screen of the design.
  • Ory Kratos as the identity server, with passkeys, one-time codes and two-factor sign-in.
  • Stripe billing with trials, plan changes, metered usage and the customer portal.
  • A Helm chart, Compose for local development, and a GitLab pipeline.

Build your product on it

Start from the dashboard and replace it with your own: the shell, the settings and the billing pages stay. Read the getting started guide to run the stack on your machine.
