SaaS platform development

It covers a full product available in the browser: customer accounts and organizations, login, roles, an admin panel and usually payments and subscriptions. You receive a working environment, source code and documentation that belong to you. We most often build with Laravel or Python, a React, Vue or Angular frontend and a PostgreSQL database. The scope of the first version is set so you can test the idea in the market without building everything at once.

We begin with a product workshop: who the customer is, which problem we solve and what must work at launch. Then we design the architecture and interface and build the product iteratively, with demos every few weeks. The first version goes to selected users, whose feedback guides further work. The timeline depends on scope, so we give it by stages once priorities are agreed.

The strongest factors are the number of features in the first version, the subscription model and payments, the complexity of roles and permissions, and integrations with external services. We build the estimate from modules and separate what is essential for launch from what can come later. It is also worth planning for running costs such as infrastructure and post-launch development. That way the budget covers the whole cycle, not just the first release.

This is one of the key SaaS risks, so we design for it early. Each organization’s data is separated at application and database level, access is limited by roles, and we test that one customer cannot see another’s data, again after every major code change, since a permissions bug can slip in with an ordinary new feature. The approach is aligned with ISO/IEC 27001: encrypted connections, backups and dependency checks. For personal data we agree on retention and deletion rules together.

Yes, if the architecture is planned for growth without overbuilding. We start with a simple, readable solution and scale where measurements show a bottleneck, for example the database, job queues or caching. After launch we monitor the system and develop the product in iterations, based on what users need. The code and documentation are yours, so you keep full control of the product.
