Schema

SaaS Foundation uses Prisma with PostgreSQL. The schema comes almost entirely from Better Auth’s core models and its Admin, Organization, and API Key plugins, with a small number of application-specific fields. Read Authentication to learn why the application relies on Better Auth while exposing a smaller, deliberate set of auth operations. The tables below describe persisted database fields. Prisma relation fields, such as sessions on User, are omitted because they do not create additional columns.
