    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.

      That’s not “working saas” tho.

      Its like calling hello world a “production ready CLI application”.

        What makes it “working”, is that the Software part of Software as a Service, is available as a Service.

        The service doesn’t have to scale to a million users. It’s still a SaaS if it has one customer with like 4 users.

        Is this a pedantic argument? Yes.
        Are you starting a pedantic fight about the specific definition of SaaS? Also yes.
