Ultiplate

Template for any project: SaaS webapp, API server, ML pipeline, scraper, CLI, or background worker. AI-native, platform-agnostic, managed via Makefile + Nx.

Quick Start

cp .env.example .env        # fill in NAME and any keys you need
make init                   # uv venv + sync + env linking
make dev                    # Next.js webapp at http://localhost:3000
make nx.projects            # list Nx projects in the monorepo

For Docker services (redis, ml inference, worker):

make up

Make Targets

Target	Description
make init	First-time setup
make dev	Start Next.js webapp
make up	Start Docker core services
make run.backend	Start API backend
make run.worker	Start Celery worker

make lift.logging	Start Loki + Grafana
make lift.mlflow	Start optional MLflow server
make lift.database	Start Postgres / MongoDB
make doctor	Verify toolchain

Run make help for the full list.

Nx Workspace

This template now ships with Nx project definitions for:

• webapp (apps/webapp)
• webapp-minimal (apps/webapp-minimal)
• backend-fastapi (apps/backend/fastapi)
• backend-flask (apps/backend/flask)
• worker (apps/worker)
• ml (ml)
• alveslib (alveslib)

Common commands:

bun x nx show projects
bun x nx graph
bun x nx run webapp:dev
bun x nx affected -t lint,test,build

AI Agent Capacity

Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in .env. Then use:

from alveslib import ask, stream, Agent

# One-shot
print(ask("Summarize this data: ..."))

# Streaming
for chunk in stream("Write a Celery task that ..."):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

# Multi-turn
agent = Agent(system="You are a senior Python developer.")
agent.chat("Scaffold a FastAPI endpoint for user profiles")
agent.chat("Add input validation and error handling")

Claude Code slash commands (type / in a Claude Code session):

• /plan - implementation plan for an idea within this boilerplate
• /build - implement a feature end-to-end
• /api - scaffold a new backend endpoint
• /page - scaffold a new Next.js page
• /review - code review of recent changes
• /ship - stage and commit changes

Logging

from alveslib import get_logger
logger = get_logger("service")

Outputs structured JSON to console + ./logs/. Optional Loki push when LOKI_PORT is set and make lift.logging is running. View in Grafana at http://localhost:$GRAFANA_PORT (add Loki data source: http://loki:3100).

Python Packaging

Python dependencies are managed with pyproject.toml and uv.

make deps         # uv sync
make lock         # refresh uv.lock
uv run pytest -v

ML Workflow

High-level ML hyperparameters live in YAML configs:

• ml/configs/data/default.yaml
• ml/configs/train/default.yaml

Run with Nx targets (cacheable with explicit inputs/outputs):

bun x nx run ml:etl
bun x nx run ml:train

ml:train depends on ml:etl, and both targets cache artifacts in ml/data/processed, ml/models/weights, and ml/tensorboard.

Services (docker compose profiles)

Profile	Services	Command
(default)	redis, ml-inference, worker	make up
minio	+ MinIO object storage	make lift.minio
tensorboard	+ TensorBoard	make lift.tensorboard
mlflow	+ MLflow tracking server (optional)	make lift.mlflow
logging	+ Loki + Grafana	make lift.logging
database	+ Postgres + MongoDB	make lift.database

Webapp Auth

Auth is off by default (NEXT_PUBLIC_REQUIRE_AUTH=false). Set it to true and configure Supabase keys to enable session-based auth gating across all routes.
