While I consider Parthenon a Business Application framework, lots of people just consider it a SaaS bootstrap. But the thing is, I also think that most people should be using SaaS bootstraps to start their SaaS/Business software both on side projects and in day jobs. I've seen quite a few objections or people not really understanding the value they bring, so I thought I would explain fully. There are different reasons depending on if you're technical or non-technical, so I'll go through the reasoning for both separately.

And I understand there are 100% cases where you shouldn't use these. But for a lot of super early startups or side projects, I really think they would benefit from not reinventing the wheel.

For the purpose of this blog post, I will talk in the context of the three major SaaS bootstraps, which I'll list out at the bottom.

I'm planning on starting a monthly blog series where I build an MVP to solve a specific problem I'm having and want a tool to solve and share how I built it. My thinking is, one, it'll be useful for people to see how to build an MVP, two, it'll be useful for people to see what Parthenon can build, and three, it's just kind of a cool, unique idea I think would be fun. If you like the idea of monthly MVP builds detailed out, sign up for the newsletter.

For most complex large-scale applications, one of the main issues is maintaining a high level of performance with extremely complex data. This is a problem whether you use microservices or a monolith, as the problem is data-related and not a system architecture problem. In this blog article, I'll try to explain, in simple terms, how to maintain performance with a complex data model. I'll use the real-world domain of an Electric Mobility Service Provider (EMSP) including their locations and prices to provide you with a solution for performance issues.
