Below is a list of minimum requirements I believe are vital to the success of a SAAS platform(Note that this isn't the word product)
- Authentication Strategy(Email, Username, Social, etc..)
- Multi-Tenant Setup
- Database Migrations
- Queuing Mechanism(RabbitMQ, Redis, etc..)
- Caching(Redis, Memcache, etc..)
- Configuration Management
- Search Tools(Elasticsearch, Algolia)
- Unit Tests
- Integration Tests
- Deployment Strategy
- Dockerfied Development
- Dashboard for Statistics(Grafana, Redash, etc..)
- Hosting Provider
Always try to think through these items before digging into the code. I have found that by doing so you significantly reduce the problems you will run into when trying to scale your product and team.
