Popular “Vibe-Coding” AI Stacks

# Stack Nickname Core Components
(Hosting / DB / Auth / LLM & Vector)
Key Advantages Typical Use Cases
1 VANS-AI
(Vercel + Auth.js + Next.js 14 App Router + Supabase Vector)
• Vercel Edge Functions
• Supabase (Postgres + Realtime + Vector)
• Auth.js or Clerk
• OpenAI Assistants / Function Calling
“Zero-ops” serverless workflow; full-stack TypeScript; huge mind-share in VC & SaaS circles Landing-page → SaaS MVPs (e.g., FundWise AI)
2 CF-Edge AI • Cloudflare Workers / Pages
• D1 (Edge SQLite) + KV
• Hono or SolidStart Router
• Cloudflare AI Gateway or OpenAI
• Auth.js
Ultra-low latency from 100+ POPs; no cold starts; built-in WAF & R2 object store Globally distributed user bases, docs/API startups
3 AWS Bedrock Serverless • API Gateway + Lambda
• DynamoDB + Bedrock vector store
• Cognito / IAM
• Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3, Llama 3, Titan…)
Single-cloud governance, widest compliance set (HIPAA, SOC 2); swap models inside AWS Fin-/Med-tech, strict regulatory environments
4 Fly-Neon-Qdrant Fly.io Machines (Edge Postgres proxy)
• Neon Serverless Postgres (branching)
• Qdrant or Weaviate (vector)
• Bun/Node or Go
• Clerk
Cost-friendly; easy multi-region (EU ↔ US); Neon’s zero-copy branches = fast preview envs Dev-heavy teams, many staging/preview pipelines
5 Replit Deploy + LangChain • Replit Deploy Edge Containers
• Supabase / PlanetScale
• Replit Auth & Secrets
• LangChain + OpenAI / Anthropic
• Upstash Redis for rate-limits
Cloud IDE + instant deploy; Ghostwriter AI pair-programming; perfect for solo hackers Hackathons, weekend tools, teaching & live demos

Why These Five Lead the Conversation

  1. VANS-AI is dubbed the “SaaS assembly line” in the Vercel community—tons of starter kits and blog tutorials make it the default for early-stage founders.
  2. Cloudflare Workers plus the new D1 edge database sparked the “Edge-first” movement; tech blogs keep highlighting sub-50 ms global latencies.
  3. AWS Bedrock lets enterprises stay within one cloud while switching between Claude, Llama 3, Titan, etc., balancing compliance and flexibility.
  4. Supabase’s native Vector store (released 2025) powers both VANS and Fly-Neon stacks, cutting integration time for RAG pipelines.
  5. Replit’s “100 % AI-generated code” demos went viral; the in-browser IDE + one-click deploy drastically shortens MVP cycles.

All five stacks allow plug-and-play swaps (e.g., Clerk ↔ Auth0, Qdrant ↔ Pinecone). Choose based on compliance needs, team skillset, and target user geography.
