Insights on the tech stack used to build an AI-powered micro-SaaS
Building an AI-Empowered SaaS with Laravel: A Founder’s Journey to LINQ Me Up
When you have a nice idea for a micro-SaaS, and want to build and ship your MVP fast, choosing the right tech stack is pivotal. As the founder of LINQ Me Up, an AI-powered micro-SaaS designed for .NET developers, I embarked on a journey that not only challenged my technical skills but also reshaped my understanding of building a service that genuinely adds value.
This post delves into the tech stack, methodologies, and pivotal decisions that underpinned the development of LINQ Me Up, aiming to inspire and guide fellow founders traversing the path of AI startups.
The Genesis: Identifying the Need
LINQ Me Up was born out of a simple, yet pressing need: I needed a quick and easy way to convert bloating SQL scripts into LINQ code. Then I figured, If I can whip up a solution, why not make it a SaaS product to assist .NET developers in converting SQL queries into LINQ and vice versa without the hassle of navigating through clunky, expensive, and inefficient tools.
The idea was not just to create a conversion tool but to leverage AI to make this process smarter, faster, and more accessible.
