  5. Broad categories: Based on industry and functionality coverage Vertical SaaS A vertical SaaS is a variety of SaaS architecture created for specific industry verticals. These industries include healthcare, real estate, agriculture, finance, logistics, retail, and many more. Horizontal SaaS Horizontal SaaS applications focus more on functionality than on industry requirements. This type of SaaS architecture focuses on a software category, irrespective of the clients’ industry.

  6. SaaS tenancy models: Based on component shareability Single-Tenant Architecture A single-tenant architecture serves a single customer who is paying for that software service. The architecture greatly benefits buyers since they don’t have to share their database resources with other customers. Multi-Tenant Architecture Multi-tenant architecture is one of the most preferred types of architecture while designing a SaaS application because of its core characteristics. This means, all the clients share a common database and application information – with the exception that every tenant’s data are secured. Mixed-Tenant Architecture Within this model, one or two parts of the application are dedicated to each tenant, while the rest of the components are shared between all the tenants.

  7. 1. Database per tenant In this model, a tenant does get their own database, however, these databases in the same resource groups are divisible into flexible pools. 2. Single multi-tenant database Similar to the multi-tenant architecture, this model simply consists of multiple tenant identifier columns within the database. Models of multi- tenant architecture 3. Sharded multi-tenant database With a growing workload on a multi-tenant database, sharding splits tenant data and stores it across multiple databases. 4. Hybrid sharded multi-tenant database A hybrid sharded multi-tenant database can be defined as a model where the vendor has the flexibility to move tenants or a group of tenants into dedicated or sharded databases.

  8. Why choose SaaS Architecture? A survey revealed that SaaS applications make up 70% of a company’s total software usage. This means that the popularity of SaaS is growing, and the demand is here to stay for a long time. SaaS Customer benefits: Offers reliable digital services over the internet.
