next-forge uses a monorepo structure managed by Turborepo:

next-forge/
├── apps/           # Deployable applications
│   ├── web/        # Marketing website (port 3001)
│   ├── app/        # Main application (port 3000)
│   ├── api/        # API server
│   ├── docs/       # Documentation
│   ├── email/      # Email templates
│   └── storybook/  # Component library
└── packages/       # Shared packages
    ├── design-system/
    ├── database/
    ├── auth/
    └── ...

Each app is self-contained and independently deployable. Packages are shared across apps for consistency and maintainability.

Full documentation is available at next-forge.com/docs, including:

• Detailed setup guides
• Package documentation
• Migration guides for swapping providers
