# SAAS Builder
|
|
|
|
A simple framework or boilerplate that will provide everything you need in order to build a SAAS application.
|
|
|
|
Everything must be procedurally generated based on configuration.
|
|
|
|
Items required for a SAAS application:
|
|
|
|
* Web application
|
|
* Mobile application
|
|
* Marketing Website
|
|
* Sign-up and payment
|
|
* Authentication
|
|
* backend business logic
|
|
* CRUD
|
|
* Specialized views and queries
|
|
* Actions a user can take
|
|
* Regularly scheduled tasks
|
|
* Rule based events - trigger an action on a preset state (could supersede the scheduled tasks)
|
|
* Data storage
|
|
* Access rules
|
|
* File/Object storage
|
|
* Upload/Download
|
|
* Access rules
|
|
* Integration with external application specific tools and services for ingestion (e.g. Domo Workbench, Weave Sync App, Parentlink Data app, etc)
|
|
* Notifications - send to frontend
|
|
* Send messages via email, SMS, Slack, or other chat applications
|
|
* Event streams - for internal and external consumption
|
|
* Audit logging - for user actions
|
|
* System logging and monitoring
|
|
* System monitoring for uptime and maintenance
|
|
* User feedback system
|
|
* Support systems - chat, phone, email, ticketing
|
|
* Sales - lead gen, demoing, closing, onboarding
|
|
|
|
Can everything be based on a single 'Entity' object that gets augmented with features when the config calls for it?
|
|
|
|
Let's run through some examples.
|
|
|
|
Some examples of entities are:
|
|
* users
|
|
* pages
|
|
* blog articles
|
|
* tasks
|
|
* Notifications
|
|
* Photos
|
|
* Permissions
|
|
* Customers
|
|
* Addresses
|
|
* Passwords
|
|
* SMS Messages
|
|
* SMS Threads
|
|
* Databases
|
|
* DB Tables
|
|
* Charts
|
|
* Preferences
|
|
* Forms
|
|
* Form Fields
|
|
* User Actions
|
|
* System Actions
|
|
* Micro Services
|
|
* Support Tickets
|
|
* Templates
|
|
|
|
I'm trying to think through how I'd go about building a page with dynamic content on it. Let's keep it simple first. And build a basic blog.
|
|
* Create an entity and set its name to be a 'page'.
|
|
* Properties for the page will include a name
|
|
* Features would include a template that renders blog articles with pagination
|
|
* Child entities would include blog articles
|
|
|
|
