Everyone’s scared that AI will “kill SaaS.”
It won’t.
It’ll kill lazy SaaS.
If your product is just:
a wrapper
a dashboard
a bunch of APIs glued together
Yeah… you’re replaceable in a weekend.
@kritikaaasq Claude can copy an existing SaaS in 20$ is a wrong take. It can surely :-
Replicate features
Scaffold apps fast
Reduce dev cost to near zero
But they can’t copy:
Distribution
Trust
Brand
Customer relationships
Insight into real problems
That’s where businesses actually win.
@kritikaaasq Started as a quiet launch.
Now it’s one of the models pushing the entire AI industry forward alongside ChatGPT and Gemini.
Crazy how fast this space evolves.
Even if the DB query is fast (~50ms), the request still goes through several backend layers before returning a response.
The delay could come from downstream services, slow external API calls, heavy business logic processing, or large response serialization. In microservice architectures, even internal service-to-service network latency can add seconds.
Sometimes the issue is blocking operations (sync I/O, file reads, waiting on locks) that stall the request thread.
