A disaster is often the time when it’s critical for mission-based workloads (such as credit union banking or fundraising solutions) to be available. How do you deliver on your mission when the unexpected happens? In this chalk talk, learn about ways to minimize workload impacts, including architectural practices, pattern monitoring, and gray failure detection, and discover how to build a culture of continuous resilience. Gain the knowledge necessary to deliver on your mission even when faced with a disaster. - -SAS303 | Zero to SaaS in one hour - - -Building a multi-tenant SaaS architecture requires teams to consider a wide range of design and architecture strategies: the footprint of your control plane, the services it will host, how you’ll handle onboarding, what tiers you’ll support, and how you’ll isolate tenants. In this session, learn the core elements of a SaaS architecture. Take an in-depth look at building out some of the core constructs while highlighting the design and implementation decisions that will impact your approach.
