Saas Tutorial?

I'm trying to wrap my head around creating a SaaS app in laravel. A video would be great.

Sorry, let me elaborate. SaaS as in multi-tenant apps.

I would also love to see a video tutorial on creating a Software as a Service application. Would be a perfect continuation on the Forge Series if you could show how to do a multi-tenant app with Laravel 5, Forge and DigitalOcean... Keep the app rather simple and focus on the SaaS aspects.

SaaS series would be great, I would happily reactivate my subscription just for this.

Please @JeffreyWay

I'm confused. Why can't you take what Jeffrey has taught and build one? Besides subscriptions (though L5 has a Stripe library built-in by default last time I checked) and a few other "smaller" things (which you can easily find Service Providers for), it's not that much different (if at all). Take what he teaches and apply the concepts. It's ready to build saas products right out the box...

Based on your profile, it doesn't even appear you've watched or completed any of the video lessons. I'd start here: https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals

It's not really SASS but SCSS.

The new main syntax (as of Sass 3) is known as “SCSS” (for “Sassy CSS”), and is a superset of CSS3’s syntax. This means that every valid CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. SCSS files use the extension .scss.

The old one is inspired by Haml’s terseness, it’s intended for people who prefer conciseness over similarity to CSS. SASS files use the extensions .sass.

You can find a lot a tutorial on Internet about SCSS.

I am starting a multi tenant SaaS web app this month with a small team, so happy to share back our thoughts, and findings but would like to chat on other people's too as I have not build an app for multi tenant before.

Evaluating these packages at the moment : https://github.com/sboo/multiauth

This might be useful for those interested in creating a SAAS app with Laravel: https://github.com/leemason/tenantable "The Laravel Tenantable package is designed to enable multi-tenancy based database connections on the fly."

Looks promising, i'll try it.

+1 for a SaaS series, potentially covering Multi-Tenancy and Serverless options.

Check https://laravel-tenancy.com, it offers a tutorial as well by Ashok Gelal over at Medium. The hyn/multi-tenant package is great for scaffolding a multi tenant saas app easily.
