# Introduction

> Welcome to the Nuxt Starter Kit.

Nuxt Starter Kit is a professional boilerplate for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.

<tip>

**TL;DR**:
This starter kit is highly opinionated and is not like other flexible starter kits out there.

It is built with the following technologies:

- [Nuxt 4+](https://nuxt.com/) - The Vue.js framework
- [Nuxt UI](https://ui.nuxt.com) - UI component library
- [Better-auth](https://better-auth.com/) - Authentication library
- [Drizzle ORM](https://orm.drizzle.team/) - TypeScript ORM
- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) - Database
- [Polar](https://polar.sh/) - Payment integration
- [Turborepo](https://turbo.build/repo) - Monorepo build system

The architecture uses **Turborepo** with **pnpm workspaces** and **Nuxt 4 layers** for a modular approach. It's completely **vendor-free** - deploy to any platform that supports Node.js.
