Nuxt + Prisma + Better Auth Starter
Nuxt, Fullstack Nuxt, PostgreSQL, Prisma, oRPC, and Better-Auth form a single app configuration where one frontend framework owns the UI and server boundary. Better Fullstack can scaffold this exact compatibility-checked selection.

Stack at a glance
| Role | Technology | Repository description | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Nuxt | Vue full-stack framework (SSR, SSG, hybrid) | Primary frontend |
| Backend | Fullstack Nuxt | Use Nuxt server routes and Nitro runtime | Project-wide |
| Runtime | None | No specific runtime | Project-wide |
| Database | PostgreSQL | Advanced SQL database | Project-wide |
| ORM | Prisma | Next-gen ORM | Scoped to the backend |
| API | oRPC | Typesafe APIs Made Simple | Scoped to the backend |
| Authentication | Better-Auth | The most comprehensive authentication framework for TypeScript | Scoped to the backend |
| CSS | Tailwind CSS | Utility-first CSS framework | Scoped to Nuxt |
| UI library | None | Build custom components | Project-wide |
02 / architecture
How the pieces fit
- The frontend and backend are separate primary stack parts.
- The selected frontend framework owns the server boundary through its self backend.
- Prisma is scoped to the backend.
- oRPC is scoped to the backend.
- Better-Auth is scoped to the backend.
- Tailwind CSS is scoped to Nuxt.

Compatibility notes
Compatibility checked against Better Fullstack types version 2.3.0.
The generated record has 0 graph issues and 0 disabled selected options. This is a compatibility check, not a claim that this exact scaffold received a runtime smoke verification.
- Runtime is intentionally set to none.
- Ui Library is intentionally set to none.

Questions
Is this combination supported?
It passes the repository's compatibility analysis, selected-option checks, stack graph validation, project schema parsing, and virtual generation. That result is described here as compatibility checked.
Does it generate one app or separate parts?
One frontend framework owns the UI and server boundary. The actual generated output uses a workspace layout.
How can I customize the selection?
Open the generated builder link above. Its query parameters reproduce this selection, and the builder can change compatible options before generating a new command.
