Building AuditAlly: An AI-Powered Compliance Monitor with Next.js 15
Source: Dev.to
Overview
I recently built AuditAlly, a SaaS platform that helps SMBs stay on top of regulatory compliance. The dashboard shows a live compliance percentage calculated from:
- Document coverage
- Framework requirements met
- Regulation currency
It tracks standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, GDPR, and more from a single dashboard. When regulations change, the system generates prioritized action items.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js 15 with App Router
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Authentication: Clerk
- Database: Neon PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
- Payments: Stripe
- Deployment: Vercel
Why These Choices?
Clerk for Authentication
Clerk provides a seamless developer experience with pre‑built UI components, robust security features, and easy integration with Next.js’s App Router.
Neon + Drizzle for the Database
Neon offers a serverless PostgreSQL instance that scales automatically, while Drizzle ORM gives type‑safe queries and a lightweight abstraction layer.
Next.js App Router
The App Router enables nested layouts, server components, and improved data‑fetching patterns, which are ideal for building a dynamic, real‑time dashboard.
