General
What is SAAScade?
SAAScade is a low-code/no-code platform designed to help teams build and deliver software faster with real-time capabilities, scalable architecture, and expert engineering guidance.
How does SAAScade reduce development costs?
Our platform allows you to exclusively focus on business logic and making applications visually appealing, while we handle the complex infrastructure: bulletproof security, GDPR compliance, modern APIs, hosting, documentation, and first-class audit logs. This dramatically reduces the time from months to minutes for production-grade systems.
How quickly can I get to market with SAAScade?
With SAAScade, you can create production-grade software systems in minutes instead of months. Our platform handles the complex infrastructure while you focus on business logic, helping you stay ahead of your competition and get to market first.
Can I export generated code to my own repository?
Yes. You can export generated code and integrate with your existing CI/CD workflows.
Do you provide training materials?
Yes. We provide onboarding guides, video tutorials, and live webinars.
Services
What services does SAAScade provide?
We provide software engineering services including real-time systems development, fractional CTO leadership, and software architecture consulting.
Products
What products does SAAScade offer?
SAAScade offers CodeGenie (Software design & code generation), Semantic Blazor Components (pre-built UI components), and SAAScade Cloud (hosting platform, coming soon).
Can I deploy applications to my own infrastructure?
Yes, SAAScade supports flexible deployment options. You can deploy to SAAScade Cloud for a fully managed experience, or export and deploy to your own infrastructure including Azure, AWS, or on-premises servers.
What is Domain-Driven Design and how does SAAScade use it?
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an approach to software development that focuses on modeling the business domain. SAAScade's visual designer is DDD-focused, helping you design task-based, behavior-driven systems that are easier to understand, use, and maintain compared to traditional CRUD systems.
How does the Visual Designer work?
Our drag-and-drop Visual Designer is a real-time collaborative whiteboard for software design. It supports Domain-Driven Design, Behavior Driven Design, and modern Event-Driven Architecture. You can design highly scalable systems visually
How does the No-Code and Low-Code approach work?
For standard CRUD operations, you can use our No-Code approach with zero coding required. For more complex scenarios, our Low-Code approach gives you the freedom to add custom code while we handle the hard stuff like security, GDPR compliance, modern APIs, hosting, and audit logs.
Can my team collaborate in real-time?
Yes! Our Visual Designer includes real-time collaborative whiteboards. Multiple team members can work on the same design simultaneously, improving shared understanding, reducing friction and errors, and eliminating waste in the development process.
Security
What security features are built-in?
Security is built into every generated system. We provide bulletproof security, GDPR compliance, secure APIs (GraphQL, REST, MCP), first-class audit logs, and industry-standard encryption. Our infrastructure uses secure cloud providers with certified security practices.
Enterprise
Do you offer enterprise support and features?
Yes, our Enterprise tier includes enterprise-grade features and support, volume discounts, and dedicated technical account management. We also provide on-premises deployment options for enterprise customers.
Billing
Is there a free trial available?
Yes, we offer a free tiers that allow you to explore the core features of all of our products, risk free. You can sign up and start building immediately without providing credit card information.
Will I be locked-in?
No, never! We absolutely hate dark patterns, and will never try to trick you into over paying for our products/services. So it will always be easy to unsubscribe. Please just chat with us if there's ever a problem and we'll get it sorted out ASAP.
What pricing options are available?
We offer three tiers: Free (generous free tier for non-commercial use), Professional (usage-based or fixed-cost pricing for commercial use), and Enterprise (enterprise-grade features, support, and volume discounts). You can get started for free without a credit card.
Are annual plans discounted?
Yes, annual plans offer significant savings compared to monthly terms.
Technical
What programming languages are supported?
SAAScade primarily focuses on .NET/C# ecosystems with Blazor components, but our generated code can integrate with various front-end frameworks and backend technologies.
How does the real-time functionality work?
SAAScade includes built-in real-time capabilities powered by GraphQL, SignalR, and WebSockets. This enables live updates, collaborative features, and instant data synchronization across all connected clients.
Can I customize the generated components?
Yes, all generated components are fully customizable. You have complete access to the source code and can modify styles, behavior, and functionality to match your specific requirements.
What makes SAAScade's real-time systems different?
SAAScade creates software systems that respond in real-time, giving users access to insights when they need them. Unlike traditional systems with slow batch jobs, our event-driven architecture with GraphQL, SignalR, and WebSockets enables lightning-fast responses and live updates across all connected clients.
What is Event-Driven Architecture?
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern where components communicate through events. SAAScade generates event-sourced systems by design, which means all changes are stored as a sequence of events. This provides better audit trails, easier debugging, and the ability to rebuild state from history.
What backend and frontend technologies are supported?
CodeGenie generates backend code in C# (and Python soon), with frontend applications using C# Blazor. The generated systems include secure APIs supporting GraphQL, HTTP/REST, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI integration.
What is MCP and how is it used in SAAScade?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for AI integration. SAAScade's Visual Designer is AI-enabled via MCP, allowing you to leverage AI assistance during the design and development process. Your generated systems can also optionally expose MCP endpoints for AI-powered interactions.
What are BDD tests and why are they important?
Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests describe how software should behave from a business perspective. SAAScade automatically generates easy-to-understand BDD tests for your systems, making it simple for both technical and non-technical stakeholders to verify that the software meets business requirements.
Are there offline capabilities or offline editing?
SAAScade is cloud-first with collaborative online features; you can export artifacts for use in your own environment.
