Developing Your App, From Front to Back (Building a SaaS, Part 2)
Building a SaaS isn't easy. It involves coding in so many different areas of business. There's things to focus on like frontend, UI/UX, backend, billing, authentication, and much more. In part 2 of this webinar series, we'll take a look at what it takes to create a SaaS and start gaining paid customers. We'll recommend specific technologies: leveraging systems you run yourself, as well as managed options that can help you bring your idea to market faster.

Can we deploy MERN Stack app with kubernetes on DigitalOcean ?
Hi Sir, Great tutorial. I really need this , anyway does Digital Ocean supports asp.net core 3 and postgresql database ?. I want to create saas web application with those stacks
Thanks for the idea Chris! Very well conveyed and I think it’s a nice approach, looking forward to experimenting with JAMstack for SaaS over the weekend. Feel bad for the crashed demo, but many of us who have done similar activity must’ve been in the same situation one way or another.
Thanks for watching! Crashed demos are a requirement for this sort of work lol. Have fun with the Jamstack!
cool hat
Here is a summary of what I got from watching this 1 hour. Use APIs where you can to speed up building SAAS. Auth0, Stripe etc. are options. Why did you take 1 hour to say this?
Yep… 28 minutes for me to get there.
that was a waste of a sheet in my notebook. Part 1 was far better.
Use Evernote, it’s free and in theory you won’t be wasting sheets
The guy was completely unprepared – lots of ideas ‘on the fly’ (very unprofessional), no consistency, started to answer some random useless questions in the middle of the talk and the cherry on the cake was when he decided to share user and password live, because everyone in this world are pure and innocent and with good intentions only and there is no way someone would hack his account in 30 seconds. Yeah right. Welcome to reality. Dude is complete snowflake.
The questions in the middle was pertinents I found.
I’d rather take time and build everything from scratch rather than constantly receive traumatizing invoices in my inbox. Service suspension,unpredictable billings and all the horrors.
I love the DHH ideology. Sticking to traditional approaches not jumping to new norms for the sake of it o just because everybody is doing it.
That’s a developer standpoint. From a business standpoint you should consider things like time to market etc.
A lot of hot air. The content can be compressed to about 15 minutes. You wouldn’t lose anything if you start the video at 27:00. Please understand that there are countries outside America, countries where people are poor and have no time to waste in small talk.
