Why This Topology Works
Tenant context is resolved at the gateway, ensuring schema-level isolation in PostgreSQL. Batch workers run per-tenant reports off read replicas without impacting live traffic.
Scaling Notes
Per-tenant schema keeps data isolated. Redis caches RBAC decisions. Batch workers auto-scale based on report queue depth. S3 stores generated PDFs.
Observability
Track queries per tenant, batch job duration, cache hit rates. Alert on schema drift between tenants.
Typical Bottlenecks
- Frontend rendering and bundle delivery under peak traffic
- Service latency and timeout behavior on critical routes
- Queue lag, retry storms, and DLQ growth during incidents
Async Flow and Reliability
User-facing operations remain synchronous while long-running work moves through queues or streams. Workers consume jobs independently with retry and failure isolation, improving resilience under burst load.
Upgrade Path
Harden each domain with clear ownership, enforce SLO budgets, and adopt multi-region or active-passive failover where downtime costs are high.
Operating Envelope
Complexity is marked as Advanced with an intended scope of Enterprise SaaS. Use this as a planning baseline before adapting the template to your reliability and team constraints.
