SaaS Solution Platform — Vision¶
Vision Statement¶
ConnectSoft will deliver a factory-standard SaaS product line where every core bounded context is available as a named template repository, every service exposes versioned ServiceModel contracts, and every tenant-facing experience can be composed from a shared Blazor shell and independent microfrontends—so teams ship consistent, observable, monetization-ready SaaS without rebuilding infrastructure.
Strategic Objectives¶
| Objective | Description |
|---|---|
| Velocity | New products generate services from ConnectSoft.Saas.*Template instead of copying solutions ad hoc |
| Consistency | Same DDD layout, Observability, and security defaults across contexts |
| Monetization | Catalog → entitlements → billing → metering is a first-class path in documentation and templates |
| Composability | Platform Template and API Gateway wire services together; shell composes MFEs |
| Ecosystem | Identity, Config, and other core platforms integrate through documented patterns, not hidden coupling |
Problem We Solve¶
- Fragmented backends — Different teams use different layering and contract styles.
- Leaky UIs — Blazor apps reference domain types or bypass BFF/gateway rules.
- Slow onboarding — New engineers lack a single map from vision → templates → epics.
Positioning¶
The SaaS Solution Platform sits above individual microservice instances and beside horizontal platforms (Identity, Config, Audit):
- It defines how we build tenant/catalog/billing/metering products.
- It consumes Identity and Gateway as foundation.
- It publishes ServiceModel packages as the only stable public API for consumers.
Success Looks Like¶
- Product managers can trace features to bounded contexts and template repos.
- Architects can validate integration against integration patterns and solution architecture.
- Engineering can prioritize EPIC-SAAS-* work from the backlog plan and factory epic docs.
