This is what SPARKi runs on

Anyone curious about SPARKi's own production stack

The exact stack powering sparki.cleff.io and sparki-mcp.cleff.io in production

This isn't a curated recommendation — it's SPARKi's actual infrastructure. If you want credibility that these services work together, here's proof: this stack is running SPARKi right now.

How to set it up

4 of 7 services are onboarded automatically by SPARKi's wizard. The rest you set up by following the steps below.

  1. 1This package is documentation-only — SPARKi already runs on this stack
  2. 2Use it as reference for credible '$0-ish to start' web infrastructure

Ready? SPARKi can onboard most of this for you.

Open SPARKi and run /sparki start sparki-stackfor <your-project> in a direct message. SPARKi will walk you through 4 services one at a time, verify each API key live, and write the config automatically. 3 services (Clerk, Google Analytics 4, AWS EC2) still need manual setup via vendor dashboards.
