SaaS Multitenant Development

SaaS Multitenant Overview

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud based application service with Multi-tenant architecture, where a single application serves multiple tenants, or customers.

  • All tenants share the same product codebase
  • Database is either
    • shared where data is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants, or
    • can be separate if strict isolation and tenant-to-tenant data leakage security is desired.

Enterprise Microservices For Building SaaS Multitenant

Enterprise Microservices are a cloud-native approach to building SaaS Multitenant applications.

Main Product Microservices

Tenant Specific Customization Using Microservices

For Customizations, build Tenant-specific Microservices using one of the communication methodology.

Microservices Communications Approaches

  • Synchronous, Blocking

    • Using REST WebClient and Tenant-specific Microservices
  • Event-based, Asynchronous, non-intrusive

    • Using Kafka Events and Tenant-specific Microservices
tip

Event-Based Customization Using Microservices is preferred approach.

Event-Based Customization Using Microservices

Enterprise softwares are made available in the multi-tenant SaaS (Software as a Service) model. They need to enable customer-specific business advantage for every different tenant who will use the same main software product. This can be achieved with a customization solution for cloud-native multi-tenant SaaS using event-based customization in a non-intrusive manner.

Approach

  • e.g. Using an event bus and integrating with tenant-specific microservices for customization.

Customization approach should make sure of

  • tenant-isolation, i.e. their data is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants.
  • It should also reduce the number of API calls to the main software product
