SaaS Architecture MICS Builds

Multi-Tenancy
The foundation of SaaS — multiple customers (tenants) share the same application but their data is completely isolated:
- Database-level isolation: each tenant's data in separate schema or database
- Application-level isolation: users only see their own organisation's data
- Configuration: each tenant can have different settings, branding, and features
- Pricing tier enforcement: feature access controlled by subscription plan

Technology Stack
- Frontend: Next.js (React) — fast, SEO-friendly, TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js + Express or NestJS for structured API development
- Database: PostgreSQL (relational) + Redis (caching/sessions)
- Authentication: JWT + refresh tokens, SSO option, MFA
- File storage: AWS S3 Mumbai region
- Search: Elasticsearch for product search, document search
- Queue: Bull (Redis-based) for background jobs — email sending, report generation

Cloud Infrastructure (AWS Mumbai)
- ECS Fargate: containerised microservices, auto-scaling
- RDS PostgreSQL: managed database, daily backup, multi-AZ for critical SaaS
- ElastiCache Redis: session management, real-time features
- CloudFront CDN: assets delivered from Mumbai edge
- WAF: protect SaaS from DDoS and web attacks

API Design
- REST APIs: documented with OpenAPI/Swagger
- Webhooks: real-time event notifications for integrations
- Public API: for customers building on top of your SaaS
- Rate limiting: prevent API abuse

Integrations (Common for Mumbai SaaS)
- GST Portal (GSTN API): for compliance SaaS
- EPFO Unified Portal: for HR SaaS
- Razorpay / PayU: for billing and in-app payments
- WhatsApp Business API: for notifications
- Aadhaar / PAN verification: for KYC-enabled SaaS
- Credit bureaus (CIBIL): for lending SaaS
- Account Aggregator: for financial data SaaS

SaaS Product Development Process

Phase 1: Discovery (2-3 weeks)
- Product definition: what problem, for whom, what outcome
- Market validation: Mumbai market interviews — will people pay for this?
- Feature prioritisation: what makes the MVP viable?
- Regulatory mapping: what compliance does the SaaS enable or need?
- Technical architecture: stack decisions, integration requirements

Phase 2: MVP Development (8-16 weeks)
- Core user flows only — not every feature
- Single tenant to start: validate product-market fit before multi-tenancy complexity
- Basic admin panel: your team manages customers and configurations
- Payment integration: Razorpay billing, subscription management
- Go-live with 3-5 pilot customers from Mumbai

Phase 3: Production SaaS (16-24 weeks from MVP)
- Multi-tenancy: production-grade tenant isolation
- Onboarding flow: self-serve customer onboarding
- Billing and subscription: Stripe/Razorpay with plan management
- Admin portal: customer management, usage analytics
- Monitoring: uptime, error tracking, performance
- Security hardening: VAPT, encryption, access control

Phase 4: Scale
- Advanced analytics: product usage data drives feature decisions
- API marketplace: partners build integrations
- Enterprise features: SSO, audit logs, custom contracts
- International: evaluate Singapore, UAE expansion from Mumbai base
