What is SaaS-Tenant Framework?
The SaaS-Tenant Framework is an open-source multi-tenant application development framework designed specifically for building secure, scalable software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. It handles a lot of complex infrastructure and boilerplate code needs common across most multi-tenant apps like tenant provisioning, authentication and authorization, data isolation and analytics segregation across tenants, subscription and billing management, etc. so developers can focus on building the core application functionality and business logic.
Some key capabilities and benefits of the SaaS-Tenant Framework include:
- Tenant provisioning system to onboard new customers and create isolated tenant schemas/namespaces for each customer
- Support for single-tenant, multi-tenant, and hybrid tenancy models
- Tenant-aware authentication, authorization, role management
- Transparent data isolation across tenants at storage layer
- Ability to define tenant-specific schemas, logic, analytics, views
- Tenant metadata management APIs
- Metering, subscription and billing systems for monetization
- Admin dashboards for tenant management and monitoring
- Built on .NET and Azure but can integrate with various storage systems like SQL Server, PostgreSQL, etc.
By providing these complex multi-tenancy capabilities out of the box, the SaaS-Tenant Framework reduces boilerplate code by as much as 50% and speeds up development of scalable, secure enterprise SaaS applications across various industry verticals like finance, healthcare, communication, retail, and more. Being open source and backed by a community, it also keeps improving continuously.
