About the Book
Building a SaaS doesn't need to take months. Laravel gives you 80% of what you need right out of the box. This book gives you the other 20%.
This practical guide shows you how to leverage Laravel 12, Jetstream, Inertia 2, Vue 3, and Laravel Spark to build subscription-based SaaS applications in record time. You'll learn which technical features to prioritize, which packages to use, and how to implement common SaaS patterns without reinventing the wheel.
I've built multiple SaaS products using these exact methods. Follow this approach, and you'll have your application architecture, authentication, team management, subscription billing, and core functionality up and running in days, not months.
The book also serves as a perfect AI launchpad. Use it to establish your foundation, then leverage AI tools to extend and customize the codebase for your specific business needs. Beginners can follow the step-by-step instructions, then use AI to adapt and enhance features without getting bogged down in technical debt.
No theory. No fluff. Just the fastest path from idea to working product with all the essential SaaS infrastructure in place—ready for both human and AI-assisted development.
