The Good

Radically less boilerplate code to write and maintain
Auth, cron jobs, and payments abstracted away
Deploy to production with single command
Growing indie hacker community
TypeScript support across full stack

The Bad

Smaller community compared to Next.js ecosystem
Learning curve for Wasp DSL (different paradigm)
Less flexibility for highly custom implementations
Fewer third-party integrations available

The Verdict

Open SaaS leverages Wasp, a unique full-stack DSL that abstracts away boilerplate and lets you focus purely on your core product. Unlike traditional frameworks, Wasp handles authentication, authorization, database setup, and cron jobs declaratively in a .wasp config file. The result is less code to write, maintain, and debug.\n\nPerfect for solo founders who want maximum productivity without diving into complex database schemas or API routes. Wasp's opinionated approach means less freedom but radically faster shipping. The community is growing, and deployment is effortless with wasp deploy.
