About Sunrise

A production-ready Next.js starter template built to help developers ship faster while maintaining high standards for code quality, security, and maintainability.

Our Mission

Modern web development involves countless decisions — frameworks, authentication, databases, deployment, testing, and more. Each choice requires research, implementation, and debugging. This takes time away from building the features that matter most.

Sunrise solves this problem by providing a complete, production-ready foundation. We've made the hard decisions, implemented best practices, and documented everything thoroughly. You get a head start measured in weeks, not hours.
