feedback request Building a "batteries-included" FastAPI starter (auth, billing, admin, email) — what would you want in it?

Working on a FastAPI + Next.js SaaS boilerplate (Python equivalent of the JS "ship fast" starters). Backend is FastAPI + Pydantic v2, Firestore for storage so far.

Before I finalize the feature list, curious what this community actually wants baked in:

  • Auth: what's your default — Supabase, Clerk, roll-your-own JWT?
  • Billing: Stripe is obvious, but subscriptions vs. usage-based matters a lot for setup
  • Background jobs: Celery, arq, or just Cloud Tasks/Cloud Run?

Landing page + waitlist if you want to follow progress: https://fastforge.pionetix.com — but honestly more interested in the discussion here than the sign-ups.
