Community questions answered by Robert Swannell

What do you regret most about your first SaaS architecture decisions?

I regret not planning for scalability. We ended up facing significant challenges as we grew, which could have been avoided with foresight.

How do I decide to build or buy a feature in our SaaS?

You need to evaluate the importance of the feature. If it's core to your value proposition, consider building. If it's just a nice-to-have, buying might save time and resources.
