Designing Modern SaaS Architecture
Building a successful SaaS platform requires careful architectural planning before writing a single line of code. You need to design for scalability, secure multi-tenancy database structures, and high uptime.
Database Isolation Strategies
Choosing between database-per-tenant, schema-per-tenant, or shared database with tenant column is critical. Shared database is highly cost-effective for early scaling but requires rigorous logical filtering inside API calls to prevent data leakage.
Stripe Billing Integration Best Practices
Never write subscription billing logic from scratch. Implement Stripe Billing or Paddle. Use webhooks to listen for event payloads (payment succeeded, subscription deleted) and update tenant access status in real time.
