Bedest Lite
A blazing-fast, strictly typed backend foundation built for custom web apps, freelance projects, and boutique websites.
Bedest Lite is the streamlined, single-tenant version of the original Bedest boilerplate. It is engineered to prioritize Developer Experience (DX) and execution speed for custom projects that don't require complex B2B SaaS overhead.
Bedest vs. Bedest Lite
| Feature | Bedest | Bedest Lite |
|---|---|---|
| Target Audience | B2B SaaS, Massive Platforms | Agencies, Freelancers, Internal Tools |
| Tenancy | Multi-Tenant (RLS) | Single-Tenant |
| Database Complexity | High (Tenant Scoping, Plan Limits) | Flat, Fast |
| Speed to Ship | Medium (SaaS overhead configuration) | Blazing Fast |
Why Bedest Lite?
- No SaaS Overhead: Focus directly on your business logic without worrying about
tenantIdmapping, subscription checks, or complex RLS policies. - Production-Ready Auth: JWT-based Access/Refresh flow utilizing highly secure, HTTP-only, SameSite
laxcookies and integrated Rate Limiting. - Hybrid Storage Engine: Zero-copy file uploads with AWS S3 / Minio support, with a seamless Local Storage fallback.
- Lightning Fast Tests: Isolated database testing using PGlite (in-memory Postgres).
Core Integration
Even though Bedest Lite is single-tenant, it securely leverages the generic foundations of bedest-core, such as ServiceBase, MacroRoleGuard, and TypeBox validation primitives.
