SaaS presents developers with a unique blend of architectural challenges. Supporting a multi-tenant model often means re-thinking your approach to almost every layer of your architecture. Onboarding, security, data partitioning, tenant isolation, identity—these are areas that must be factored into how you design, build, and deploy your SaaS solution. Of course, the best way to wrap your mind around these SaaS architectural principles is to dig into a working example. In this workshop, we’ll expose you to the core concepts of SaaS architecture then dive into a reference SaaS architecture where you can see the moving parts of a SaaS solution in action. The goal here is to provide a series of activities that allow you to interact with a functional solution, introducing code and configuration that realizes and extends the capabilities of this SaaS environment. Through this combination of a brief lecture and hands-on exercises, you’ll get a healthy dose of SaaS best practices all through the lens of a working reference solution.
