Churn is the metric that quietly destroys SaaS businesses. You can be growing 15% month-over-month and still be dying if your churn rate is high enough. Yet most founders either don't track it properly, don't know what a "good" rate looks like, or don't connect it to the right levers. This guide cov
I migrated a live SaaS from Prisma to Drizzle-ORM last month. The app had 3,000 active users, 12 tables, 40 migrations in history, and a Stripe integration that touched the database on every webhook.

Over the past year, our team at OxelLab built a social media automation platform that manages content scheduling, AI-powered post generation, and analytics across multiple platforms. The journey fro

SaaS on the Beach, a curated event for SaaS founders, will return to Barcelona between May 20 and 21 for its second edition, positioning itself as an
The threat group's shift to speedy attacks on AWS, Azure, and SaaS instances shows organizations need to respond quickly to compromised credentials.
Something is changing in how developers pick tools. Increasingly, the decision is not made by a human — it is made by an AI agent scanning GitHub. When a developer tells Claude Code or Codex "build me a SaaS app," the agent needs to decide: start from scratch, or use a starter kit? This is the new d
When OpenAI launched Frontier in February, the announcement was described as a platform for enterprise AI agents. What it actually signalled was a challenge to the revenue architecture underpinning the software industry. Frontier is designed to act as a semantic layer in an organisation’s existing s
