  • Kinda.
    Ignoring the pedantic take that nearly every website is a saas.
    And the slightly less pedantic take that every interactive website is a saas

    If your website is an app that does a thing that a user wants, it’s a saas.
    Your website just does mpeg to gif transcoding? That’s a saas. Online text editor? SaaS. Online tamagotchi? SaaS.

    If it doesn’t scale to the number of users who want or need to use it, then it’s not a very good SaaS. But SaaS it is.



  • Lol they don’t need scaling and redundancy to work. They just need scaling and redundancy to avoid being sued into oblivion when they lose all their customer data.

    As a full time AI hater, I fully believe that some code-specialized AI can write and maybe even deploy a full stack program, with basic input forms and CRUD, which is all you need to be a “saas”.

    It’s gonna suck, and be unmaintainable, and insecure, and fragile. But I bet it could do it and it’d work for a little while.
