      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.

          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.
