These days, websites are using way too many SaaS tools for analytics, advertising, remarketing, etc. The reports I'm reading quote alarmingly high number so I thought why not ask amazing entrepreneurs and devs here, how many SaaS tools does your website has integrated? A rough figure would do. Also it would be good to discuss, how does the future looks like.

Concerning the future, there will be a growing tension between 2 forces:

1. Developing SAAS in getting easier and faster : Better platforms, frameworks, and now AI-assisted programming.

2. Capitalism history shows us that concentration is inevitable.

So how is this tension going to play out?

FYI you can access a lot of these stacks on stackshare [1] and g2 [2]. I'm not sure how accurate or up-to-date they are.

Interesting. What exactly do you mean by"concentration"?

CrypticShift2• 4 years ago

By concentration I mean accumulative mergers and acquisition over time that result in big conglomerates and monopolies.

Historically this cycle has been described in the well-known book : The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires
