Saw the invite too late. @lucasbento and @fibric gave wonderful answers, both providing strong cases of why one should or shouldn't use a SaaS boilerplate. @fibric mentioned "Feature-as-a-Service", which I'm too really keen on (a great article about the topic can be found here). Using FaaS, it's up to me or my team to choose which "feature" will work best, giving us the much needed freedom we all strive to.
