Amazon Web Services Inc. has open-sourced an internally-developed toolkit called SaaS Boost in a bid to help companies build software-as-a-service applications on its cloud platform faster.
AWS announced the availability of SaaS Boost on GitHub today. The project is the latest in a series of open-source tools the cloud giant has released to simplify customers’ software projects.
SaaS applications vary greatly in purpose and design, but they’re generally all built on the same basic building blocks. An application needs a system for onboarding users, integration with payment processing services to bill customers and monitoring mechanisms to detect technical issues. SaaS Boost provides these components, as well as others, in the form of pre-packaged modules that remove the need for companies to build everything from scratch.
