RAG can supercharge your SaaS, but it also expands your attack surface. Learn how retrieval, prompt injection, and weak tenant isolation can trigger breaches, compliance setbacks, churn, and costly security rework.
Most teams budget for the obvious part of an MVP: the design and engineering work to get something shippable. What quietly derails timelines and burns runway are the decisions that never make it into a proposal — around architecture, security, QA, DevOps, billing, and what happens after you launch.
Ruby on Rails works best when a small team can ship a cohesive product fast, but many teams undermine that advantage by adopting hyperscale-style infrastructure too early (e.g., excessive AWS services, Kubernetes, microservices, multiple CI/CD pipelines, and heavy observability)
Everyone wants to “build with AI” right now. But as Richardson Dackam points out, there’s a big difference between talking about AI and actually shipping products with it. In this episode of SaaS That App - Building Tech-Enabled Businesses, Richardson Dackam, Founder and AI Builder at N Shipyard, joins Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards to share insights about what it really looks like to build with AI today.
What does an IP lawyer see when they look under the hood of a SaaS company? Usually, surprises — and not the good kind. In this episode of SaaS That App – Building Tech-Enabled Businesses, hosts Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards sit down with Gabriel Saade, partner at DarrowEverett LLP, to unpack the legal foundations every tech founder needs to get right early. The conversation explores trademark diligence, structuring software development agreements, protecting against risky vendor overlays, and the emerging complications of AI-generated work product.
Every year, tech people make predictions. Most of them are vague, hedged, or conveniently forgotten. This episode of SaaS That App does the opposite. Hosts Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards, along with the Delta Systems team and friends, put specific 2026 predictions on the record, fully intending to come back later and roast themselves if they get it wrong.
Building a SaaS product is expensive, not just in dollars, but in time, momentum, and opportunity cost. Yet many teams still rush into development before validating whether the product they’re building is something customers actually want, understand, or will pay for.
Many startups rush to ship an MVP, collect a few signups, and then struggle to understand why adoption stalls or churn creeps in. In most cases, the issue isn’t the idea; it’s a disconnect between what users actually need and what the product delivers. Customer feedback is the fastest, most reliable way to close that gap. When used correctly, it helps you refine features, validate assumptions, and focus development resources where they matter most before costly rework or failed launches.
Most SaaS products don’t fail because of bad code. They fail because they solve the wrong problem, or solve the right problem in the wrong way.
You have a brilliant idea for a product that solves real problems. Your customers love it. But you’re competing in one of the most expensive markets in the world against better-funded rivals with brand recognition and distribution you can only dream of. How do you scale without burning through cash or losing sight of what users actually want? In this episode of SaaS That App: Building B2B Web Applications, Aytekin Tank, Founder and CEO of Jotform, joins Justin Edwards to share how he took Jotform from a one-person side project to a 25-million-user SaaS business, bootstrapped, profitable, and thriving even while competing with giants like Google.
