Step 5 of 8 · Database

Design Your Database

RLS pattern: every table with user_id gets USING (auth.uid() = user_id) — the database enforces data isolation automatically on every query. Add fields below and watch the SQL generate live.

Step 8 of 8 · Launch

Deploy & Launch Your SaaS

Enter your GitHub username — git commands, the LinkedIn post, and your complete SaaS Blueprint all update with your real details.

YOUR GITHUB USERNAME

Critical Vercel step: Add all three env vars in Vercel → Project → Settings → Environment Variables before deploying: NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY. Without them the app builds but fails at runtime.
