What it does

This book connects the parts that turn a Rails app into a paid product: accounts, background jobs, email, Stripe subscriptions, webhooks, real-time UI, and deployment. Follow it front to back for a complete build, or use it as a practical guide to modern Rails 8 systems. Across 14 chapters you'll build a Daily Standup app with teams, paid plans, real-time updates, and third-party integrations. Every chapter adds to the same finished codebase, so you can follow the build in order or inspect the completed application. Enter your email and I'll send the first sample chapter to your inbox, followed by a few more over the next several days. You'll see the writing style, the level of detail, and…from buildasaasappinrails.com
