SaaS Deep Dive: Designing and Building Multi-Tenant Solutions • Tod Golding • GOTO 2020

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2020. #GOTOcon #GOTOchgo

Tod Golding – Architect at Amazon Web Services immersed in cloud-optimized application design and architecture

ABSTRACT
Creating a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) application requires developers and architects to take new approaches to how they design, build, operate, and deploy their solutions. SaaS touches every dimension of your design, including how you decompose your system into services, how those services are built, how they are secured, how they store data, and how they are deployed.
In this session we’ll dig into each of these areas and outline the common patterns and strategies that you’ll need to factor into the design of your SaaS solution. As part of this dive into architecture and code, we’ll explore the core elements of SaaS application development, including identity, onboarding, tenant isolation, and data partitioning. The goal here is to expose you to the fundamental building blocks associated with designing and coding […]

    Assuming silo model for database and pooled model for the microservice (of course with data-access routing using tenant-context running as a library used by microservice), the data-access layer can potentially face “connection explosion” towards siloed DBs.

    Not to mention, when microservice is scaled-out in above example, (let’s assume microservice itself is kubernetes replica-set), “connection explosion” will aggravate to multiple proportions

    Are there any patterns to address this connection-explosion?

      I doubt if you can ever get everything right from the get go. Small problems tend to grow bigger as the scale increases. At the end it will be a case of compromise between speed/latency and data correctness/compliance/security
