The Missing Fullstack Toolkit for Next.js
Ship. Fast.
Blitz picks up where Next.js leaves off, providing battle-tested libraries and conventions for shipping and scaling world wide applications.
// ---- ON THE SERVER ----
// app/projects/mutations/createProject.ts
import { resolver } from "@blitzjs/rpc"
import db from "db"
import * as z from "zod"
// This provides runtime validation + type safety
export const CreateProject = z
.object({
name: z.string(),
})
// resolver.pipe is a functional pipe
export default resolver.pipe(
// Validate the input data
resolver.zod(CreateProject),
// Ensure user is logged in
resolver.authorize(),
// Perform business logic
async (input) => {
const project = await db.project.create({ data: input })
return project
}
)Typesafe API Layer
Build and iterate on features 10x faster with Blitz RPC than REST, GraphQL, or vanilla API routes. Read and write data from the client with full typesafety and without messing with HTTP or serialization.
Authentication
Powerful, flexible, and battle tested authentication and authorization for Next.js. You get more control with simpler APIs than alternatives. Easily add social third party integrations like Google, Github, and Auth0.
Conventions & Codegen
Set up a new app in 2 mins instead of 2 weeks. Everything will be set up for you including auth, user signup, forgot password, and your form library of choice.
Everything You Need For Production Apps
We Love Our Community!
Our community is warm, safe, inclusive, and fun!
Please read our Code of Conduct.
We are all in this together, from the youngest to the oldest. We are all more similar than we are different. We love to work together.
We invite you to help make Blitz the best JavaScript application layer we've ever had!

Everything End-to-End From
the Database to the Frontend
Authentication & Authorization
Blitz authentication is super easy and secure. Works with any identity provider, including self-hosted username and password and third-parties like Auth0.
Database Agnostic
You can use any database you want. Prisma is the default database client, but you can remove that and use anything else like Fauna or DynamoDB.
Recipes
One command to install code and/or packages into your blitz app. Examples: `blitz install tailwind` or `blitz install chakra-ui`. Recipes can be created by anyone.
Backend Architecture
Blitz is set up for server intensive tasks like sending emails, cron jobs, background processing, generating PDFs, etc. Currently we have minimal backend guides, but are working on developing more patterns and adding more docs.
First Class TypeScript Support
Blitz is built with TypeScript and the Blitz data layer is fully end-to-end typesafe. All types are completely static without needing a separate type generation process!
Code Scaffolding
Blitz code scaffolding is great for both prototyping and for building real apps! You can override templates with your own.
Our Sponsors
Your financial contributions help ensure Blitz continues to be developed and
maintained! We have monthly sponsorship options starting at $5/month.
