REX: Building a SaaS from Wagtail

In 2023, RGOODS decided to launch its online donation form service for NGOs and associations. In order to accelerate development and avoid reinventing the wheel, we decided to rely on Django and Wagtail.

This talk will present how we twisted Wagtail to use it as a SaaS platform, using examples and outlining what makes Wagtail an interesting foundation for building a SaaS business application, outside of its core CMS business, and how our users benefit from its ‘killer features’.

We will also discuss how we contribute back to the project and we follow Wagtail development.
