SaaS

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software distribution model in which the application is hosted by a vendor and accessible on demand via the internet, most often by subscription.

The user does not have to install or maintain the software: they simply log in from their browser. Updates, security, and infrastructure are entirely managed by the vendor.

SaaS in Practice

Why develop a product as SaaS

Recurring revenue model and predictable (MRR / ARR) - much more valued than a one-off licence sale.
Continuous product evolution for all clients simultaneously, with no migration project.
Rapid Onboarding - no client-side installation, immediate access from the browser.

Technical Building Blocks of a SaaS Platform

Multi-tenant Architecture - strict data isolation between clients.
Authentication - SSO (Google, Microsoft), role and permission management.
Recurring Billing - Stripe, Chargebee, Lemon Squeezy as required.
Observability - logs, metrics, alerting to detect incidents before clients do.
CI/CD Pipeline for continuous delivery without service interruption.

Caveats

The data security is more critical than for client-installed software - any leak can affect all clients at once.
The infrastructure cost evolves with the number of users and data: plan for optimisation from the design stage.
The compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HDS for healthcare) becomes essential depending on the target market and clients.
