SaaS Architecture Advisor

Overview

This skill helps teams design and implement multi-tenant SaaS architectures by evaluating isolation strategies, generating tenant routing patterns, and recommending the right tradeoffs based on scale, compliance requirements, and budget constraints.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Context

Before recommending anything, establish:

• Scale: Expected tenant count (year 1 and year 3)
• Tenant size: Users per tenant (range and distribution)
• Compliance: SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, or contractual isolation requirements
• Stack: Database, language, framework, hosting
• Budget: Monthly infrastructure budget
• Data sensitivity: What kind of data tenants store
• Customization needs: Do tenants need custom fields, workflows, or branding?
