May 1, 2024 3 minute read

Software as a Service (SaaS) applications are a form of cloud computing that allows businesses to access software over the internet, rather than having to install and maintain it on their own computers or servers. SaaS applications have quickly gained popularity over the last 20 years due to their flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Some of the most popular examples of SaaS applications include Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Dropbox.
