SaaS Platform Architecture

This SaaS platform architecture separates the client entry point from the services that manage identity, tenants and billing. The API gateway is the boundary for web and mobile traffic. Tenant and billing services share the records needed to operate subscriptions, while the event queue provides a place for asynchronous work. It is a useful starting point for explaining a multi-tenant product without drawing every endpoint or database table.
