🧱 Software-as-a-Block 🧱 There’s a new wave of tools no one is talking about: software companies that package state-of-the-art infrastructure into elegant, composable APIs. Unlike traditional SaaS, these are modular building blocks designed to fuel larger systems. I call them SaaB: Software-as-a-Block. Some examples: Payments: @stripe, @Plaid Communication: @resend, @knocklabs Workflows: @triggerdotdev, @inngest Authentication: @clerk, @WorkOS Data: @xata, @flatfile Backend: @supabase, @convex Built for devs, their composable nature make them perfect for internal tooling. You can now build systems using proven & reliable components without developing them yourself.
