Ask HN: Do you run a SAAS app?
It would be interesting to see how many HN readers develop and run SAAS apps, and whether they are side projects or your primary focus.
And, as this is HN, what tech does your app run on ?

I think my front-end is pretty standard: jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Transit, qTip2, Backbone, Backbone Marionette, Lo-Dash, Jasmine.
Back-end is all Microsoft-land because I was more comfortable building it in C#. NHibernate (ORM), AutoFac (Dependency Injection), AutoMapper (DTO<->Domain object mapper), NUnit (Test). Database is MSSQL. It's hosted by AppHarbor: https://appharbor.com/
It runs on Debian with ruby/rails, java, postgresql and some system tools.
I also do some work on a SAAS to build wireless hotspot systems. I don't own anything of it, but is an interesting field once you hit scalability problems. We use all kinds of technology but the core components would be linux/freebsd, freeradius, postgresql and ruby.

should say "trial" instead of "trail"
Thanks for your comment.
The client is JavaScript and SVG.
Backend is Nginx, Java, and C++.

These apps are built on a mixture of technologies including Rails, postgresql and backbone.js
Rotaville mobile is available on the web and also iOS and Android (using phonegap/cordova). The backbone.js models are re-used from the web app. jquery-mobile is used for the view styling and transitions.
