What is a SaaS Boilerplate or Starter Kit?

A SaaS (software as a service) boilerplate or starter kit is a pre-built framework that provides a basic structure for developing a software as a service (SaaS) application. It typically includes common components and functionalities that are needed for building a SaaS application, such as user management, authentication, payment processing, and deployment tools. This allows developers to quickly and easily create a SaaS application without having to start from scratch.
