SaaS Development with Python
Build and ship Software-as-a-Service products: architecture, billing, multi-tenancy, and deployment.
Key Concepts
- SaaS vs. traditional software
- Multi-tenancy: shared DB vs. schema-per-tenant
- Authentication: OAuth, JWT, session management
- Subscription billing: Stripe, Paddle
- User management and RBAC
- APIs and webhooks for integrations
Stack
- Backend: FastAPI, Django, Flask + SQLAlchemy
- Frontend: React, Vue, or server-rendered (Jinja)
- Database: PostgreSQL, Redis
- Payments: Stripe, Paddle
- Hosting: Render, Railway, AWS, Vercel

stripe.Subscription.create(customer=customer_id, items=[{'price': price_id}])
