Micro-SaaS shifts to Service with Software

Adrien Gonin argues that traditional standalone micro-SaaS is becoming obsolete as AI enables anyone to rapidly build generic tools. Instead of selling standalone software, Gonin advocates for "Service with a Software"—building private internal tools that make bespoke service offerings unrepeatable and highly leverageable.

// ANALYSIS

AI has destroyed the codebase moat, moving defensibility entirely to domain context, client trust, and hyper-tailored service execution.

–Rapid AI generation lowers software creation costs to near zero, driving market saturation and widespread SaaS subscription cancellation.
–Overfitting private tools to specific client workflows delivers unmatched value without requiring public onboarding, marketing funnels, or churn management.
–Developers should shift focus from standardizing end-user software products to standardizing meta-workflows that blend AI leverage with human judgment.

Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY hits 60k writes per second

DBOS published an engineering benchmark detailing how PostgreSQL's built-in LISTEN/NOTIFY feature can reliably back real-time data streams at high throughput. While conventional wisdom cautions against using LISTEN/NOTIFY for high-concurrency event streaming due to lock contention during transaction commits, DBOS demonstrates that optimized streaming patterns enable a single Postgres server to achieve 60,000 writes per second at millisecond-scale latency, removing the need for auxiliary message brokers in many architectures.
