Design and Realization of Cloud SaaS Multi-Tenant Application

Abstract

With the rapid and increased technological development, several architectures and approaches have been superseded by new ones that have appeared to correct the deficiencies of their predecessor; and multi-tenant architectures are indisputably among those that have become a necessity as an added architectural value for companies with virtualized systems (Cloud, Fog, Edge..etc), and as a skill for engineers and developers. In order to remove all the ambiguity which resides in this architectural tendency, our contribution behind this work (of application and not of research), is based on the use of the multi-tenant architecture of the highest degree "unique data base" when designing and building a simple Cloud SaaS application. This will allow to demystify the conceptual and programming complexity of this architectural trend, based on a SaaS application for healthcare establishments that supports the demands of its tenants. In order to realize the distinguished multi-tenant SaaS application, the Laravel Framework is targeted by this thesis.
