Infrastructure & Core Services

This category includes foundational services that most SaaS applications need. These platforms provide the building blocks for cloud-native applications, enabling developers to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure concerns.

Category Overview

Infrastructure & Core Services platforms are the foundation of modern SaaS applications. They provide essential capabilities like authentication, logging, configuration, messaging, and routing that every application needs.

Platforms in This Category

Existing Platforms

Planned Platforms

  • API Gateway Platform - Single entry point for microservices, routing, authentication, rate limiting
  • Service Mesh Platform - Service-to-service communication, load balancing, circuit breaking
  • Message Queue Platform - Asynchronous messaging, pub/sub, task queues
  • Event Bus Platform - Event-driven architecture, event streaming, event sourcing
  • File Storage Platform - Object storage, file management, CDN integration
  • CDN Platform - Content delivery network, edge caching, global distribution
  • Rate Limiting Platform - API rate limiting, throttling, quota management
  • Circuit Breaker Platform - Fault tolerance, resilience patterns, failure handling
  • Service Discovery Platform - Service registration, health checks, load balancing
  • Load Balancer Platform - Traffic distribution, health-based routing, SSL termination
  • Health Check Platform - Service health monitoring, dependency checks, status aggregation

Common Use Cases

Building New SaaS Products

Start with Identity, Audit, and Config platforms, then add API Gateway and messaging as needed.

Microservices Architecture

Use API Gateway, Service Mesh, Message Queue, and Event Bus to connect microservices.

High Availability

Implement Circuit Breaker, Load Balancer, and Health Check platforms for resilience.

Scalability

Leverage Message Queue, Event Bus, and CDN platforms for horizontal scaling.
