About this episode
Replit just raised $400 million at a $9 billion valuation, tripling in six months. But the real story is what it represents: the end of the buy the giant platform era in enterprise software.
In this episode, Stephen Forte goes deep on why companies are shifting from monolithic SaaS platforms to constellations of bespoke micro-apps built by the people closest to the problem.
The thesis: systems of record like Salesforce and SAP persist as the data layer. But the interface and automation layer is being rebuilt with bespoke tools in an afternoon.
