SaaS platforms built to survive success
Multi-tenant products with billing, roles and the architecture to stay fast when the tenth thousand customer signs up.
- Multi-tenant
- From day one
- Billing
- Trials, dunning, plans
- SOC-ready
- Security posture
What makes software & saas hard
Multi-tenancy added late is a rewrite
Retrofitting tenant isolation into a single-tenant schema means touching every query and trusting every one of them.
Billing is harder than the product
Trials, proration, upgrades, failed cards, dunning. Teams underestimate this and then hand-fix invoices for a year.
The first enterprise deal changes everything
SSO, audit logs, data export, a security questionnaire. All of it, before they'll sign.
Performance rots quietly
It's fast with 50 customers and slow with 5,000, and by then the fix is architectural.
What we build for you
Tenant Isolation
Enforced at the data layer, not hoped for in application code.
Subscription Billing
Stripe done properly: proration, dunning, plan changes.
SSO & RBAC
SAML, OAuth and roles: the enterprise checklist, pre-answered.
Usage Metering
Accurate enough to bill on, which is a higher bar than analytics.
Built for Scale
Indexed, cached, paginated: fast at 5,000 tenants, not just 50.
Audit Logs
The thing every security questionnaire asks for. Ship it early.
- Multi-tenant architecture with real isolation
- Subscription billing: plans, trials, proration, dunning
- Roles, permissions, SSO and audit logs
- Usage analytics and metering that billing can trust
Built to comply
Questions
- Shared database or database-per-tenant?
- Shared with row-level isolation for most, simpler to operate and cheaper to scale. Database-per-tenant when a customer contractually demands it or the data is genuinely sensitive. Decide before launch; changing later is a migration nobody enjoys.
- Should we build billing ourselves?
- No. Use Stripe or Paddle and spend your engineering on the product. Hand-rolled billing looks fine until the first proration dispute, and then it's your team's Monday for a year.
- When do we need SOC 2?
- When an enterprise buyer asks, which is usually one deal before you're ready. Building the controls early: audit logs, access reviews, encryption, makes the eventual audit administrative rather than an emergency rebuild.
- Can you take over an existing SaaS codebase?
- Often. We audit first: some codebases need continuing, some need strangling piece by piece, a few genuinely need replacing. We'll tell you which and show our reasoning.
