Why I dumped LAMP for Next.js + Groq to build an AI SaaS in 48 hours

Source: Dev.to

Last week, I was a LAMP stack developer. This week, I’m shipping AI apps on Vercel.

I built GitViral—a tool that converts technical READMEs into marketing content. Below is the technical breakdown of how I did it with a $0 budget.

The AI Engine (Groq + Llama 3.3)

I chose Groq over OpenAI because of its lower latency. When building a content generator, users expect instant results. The implementation is a simple POST request using the Groq SDK.

The Database (Supabase)

Coming from MySQL, Supabase felt like a super‑power. I used its Magic Link authentication and a straightforward profiles table to manage user credits. A PostgreSQL trigger automatically grants new users 3 credits upon sign‑up.

The Frontend (Next.js + Tailwind)

Switching from Bootstrap to Tailwind CSS dramatically improved UI development speed and consistency.

Result

A fully functional, authenticated SaaS built in just 2 days.

Challenge

I’m looking for my first 10 “Prosumer” users. If you have a GitHub project that could benefit from more visibility, try running its README through GitViral and let me know whether the generated “Technical Thread” is accurate.
