Frequently Asked Questions

JavaScript

What makes JavaScript ideal for SaaS development?

JavaScript excels in SaaS development due to its robust ecosystem, strong typing capabilities, and excellent library support. JavaScript boilerplates leverage language-specific features to provide type-safe database queries, efficient API routing, and optimized runtime performance. The language's maturity means you get battle-tested packages for authentication, payment processing, and background jobs that integrate seamlessly.
