Bullet Train

Open Source Ruby on Rails SaaS Framework

Overview

Rails-based SaaS Framework

Bullet Train is an MIT-licensed Rails-based framework that saves you months of development by starting you off with all the features that are the same in every product, so you can focus on what makes your app unique.

It's more than a "Rails SaaS Template" - it's like "Rails on Rails".
