In multi-tenant environments, it's essential to have visibility into how tenants operate and utilize resources. Understanding their scaling patterns, resource consumption, and cost implications is crucial for effective management.

In this workshop you will learn how Amazon ECS simplifies critical SaaS operations and tenant management. Get hands on with essential SaaS components such as tenant onboarding, user management, and admin portals.

SaaS is meant to be a data-driven model. The choices you make when architecting a multi-tenant system are driven by specific metrics, goals, and outcomes that are expected to enable growth, innovation, and efficiency.

The path to SaaS is different for many organizations. There are a range of different business and technical factors that influence how you choose to move an existing application to a multi-tenant delivery model.

SaaS providers often need to support of a range of authentication experiences, allowing tenants to access their systems from internally and externally hosted identity providers. This can be challenging for providers who often want to own the full lifecycle of their users.

Building a multi-tenant SaaS architecture requires teams to consider a wide range of design and architecture strategies: the footprint of your control plane, the services it will host, how you’ll handle onboarding, what tiers you’ll support, and how you’ll isolate tenants.

SaaS providers often need to support multiple authentication and authorization models, allowing tenants to access their system through internal and external identity sources.

Some SaaS solutions need to run in more complex environments that push the boundaries of traditional SaaS models. Some need AWS services on premises, some need a mix of on-premises and cloud-based services, and some may be consuming services that run outside their AWS environment.
