# Next.js SaaS starter with Cloudflare R2

User uploads in Next.js need auth checks, pre-signed URLs, and sane defaults. Cloudflare R2 is wired with authorized upload routes so you are not building file plumbing in week one.

## The problem

File uploads with Cloudflare R2 in Next.js need auth checks, pre-signed URLs, and MIME validation, work that rarely belongs in week one of a new SaaS.

Scaffold Next.js, find a Cloudflare R2 tutorial, wire env vars, fix auth sessions, then repeat for billing and email. Most teams lose weeks before the stack deploys cleanly or handles real users.

## Why LaunchFast

LaunchFast is a production Next.js repo where Cloudflare R2 already talks to auth, billing, and deployment. Add your keys, customize the UI, and ship while the cross-cutting SaaS plumbing stays done.

### Benefits

- Pre-signed upload URLs for R2
- Authorized upload component included
- Swap to S3 or Supabase Storage later

## How it works

### Clone and configure

Add your Cloudflare R2 keys and provider settings to the included env template. The Next.js app boots with the integration active.

### Customize product flows

Adjust pages, pricing, and onboarding on top of pre-wired routes. Auth, webhooks, and integration helpers stay intact.

### Deploy with included configs

Use the bundled Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, or Node deployment setup. Sessions and webhooks are tuned for production, not just localhost.

### Swap providers later

Client wants a different payment processor or database? Change adapters through config instead of rewriting your Next.js app.

## FAQ

### Is this only about Cloudflare R2?

No. The Next.js kit is a complete SaaS foundation. Cloudflare R2 ships alongside auth, billing, email, analytics, storage, and deployment so you are not assembling the stack from scattered tutorials.

### Can I see it working before I buy?

Yes. The live demo runs the same Next.js starter with real auth and billing flows. Open the demo, click through signup and checkout, then compare with your timeline.

### What if I need Astro or SvelteKit instead?

LaunchFast ships the same integration surface in all three frameworks. Related links on this page point to the Cloudflare R2 guides for Astro and SvelteKit too.
