Building Multi-Tenant SaaS Architectures: Principles, Practices and Patterns Using AWS

Software as a service (SaaS) is on the path to becoming the de facto model for building, delivering, and operating software solutions. Adopting the multi-tenant model of SaaS requires builders to take on a broad range of new architecture, implementation, and operational challenges. How data is stored, how resources are isolated, how tenants are authenticated, how microservices are built--these are all examples of areas that builders must consider when designing and creating SaaS offerings. This practical book equips SaaS builders and architects with a collection of patterns, strategies, and insights to help you bridge these technical and business challenges.
