What I Learned Building My First SaaS

Shipping a product is very different from building tutorials.

Lessons

  • Users don't care about your framework.

  • Performance matters.

  • Simplicity wins.

  • Security is essential.

Deployment

Docker simplified deployments and made local development more predictable.
