What Claude Code
Actually Chooses

PostgreSQL is the right choice for a SaaS app — it's reliable, scales well, and every hosting provider supports it. I'll set you up with Supabase as the hosted PostgreSQL provider:

pnpm add @supabase/supabase-js

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
export const supabase = createClient(...);

Railway is great for FastAPI apps — it auto-detects Python, handles your requirements.txt, and gives you a PostgreSQL addon in one click.

npm i -g @railway/cli
railway login && railway init

Adding a Procfile with: web: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

Inngest is great for Next.js — it runs as serverless functions alongside your app, no separate worker infrastructure needed.

pnpm add inngest

export const sendWeeklyDigest = inngest.createFunction(
  { id: 'send-weekly-digest' },
  { cron: '0 9 * * 1' },
  async ({ step }) => { ... }
);

Each step is retryable independently.

Drizzle ORM is the best fit — type-safe, lightweight, and has a SQL-like query syntax.

pnpm add drizzle-orm postgres
pnpm add -D drizzle-kit

export const users = pgTable('users', {
  id: uuid('id').primaryKey().defaultRandom(),
  email: text('email').notNull().unique(),
});
