Why is Laravel a Good Choice for SaaS?
Since building a Software as a Services (SaaS) product may be hard, time-consuming and full of challenges, one could use a framework that simplifies the process, and provides ready-made solutions for some of the problems that developers would otherwise have to face themselves. Laravel is perfect for this as it supplies a varied set of components for building modules such as admin dashboards, payments and subscriptions which helps to cut the time spent on development and limits the size of code.
Revenues are a key ingredient of all SaaS businesses, so it’s crucial to pick a framework that utilizes them. Not only does Laravel support a variety of built-in revenue models, from flat rate pricing to resource consumption per user, but also comes with a broad range of packages that make recurring revenue models and payment collections easy to build and customize.
All in all, Laravel is an excellent solution for SaaS. It provides a well-tested and robust framework with a broad spectrum of package libraries that make building and maintaining SaaS products much easier and more efficient. While using Laravel, developers can fully focus on the development process and product delivery as everything else is taken care of by the framework.
Is Laravel Good for Rapid Development?
Software development can take a lot of time and prove demanding, hence the need to simplify and speed up the work of developers. Laravel comes with features that allow this.
A set of pre-cooked components based on proven solutions saves developers from having to reinvent the wheel. The components are by no means trivial and would take many work hours if implemented from scratch. Laravel delivers them in abundance which is a great aid during the development process.
The MVC model and object-oriented programming principles provided by Laravel make it perfect for working closely with clients while implementing changes and improving upon prototypes is well organized and based on a methodical approach.
Testing software can take a lot of time, and since humans are fallible, it’s easy to overlook a problem even when it’s right in front of your nose. This issue can be fixed with automated testing, and Laravel comes with an in-built testing suite which fully supports Test Driven Development (TDD). Using this approach greatly facilitates the development process.
In addition to all this, Laravel is easy to set up and comes pre-bundled with front-end processors. Moreover, its modularity allows for quick adjustments which makes it easier to change things according to client’s requests. Thanks to its flexibility and a myriad of package libraries, Laravel allows performing complex tasks with just a few lines of code. If time is of the essence, Laravel is a great choice.
