Intro:
Building SaaS for MENA requires architecture that supports tenancy, regional data residency, and flexible billing. Design for scale and local integrations.
Architecture:
Choose multi-tenant patterns (shared schema with tenant isolation or isolated schemas) depending on compliance and scale. Automate provisioning and observability.
Localization & payments: Build in i18n, RTL support, and multiple currency/billing connectors—integrate with local PSPs and tax/regulatory checks.
Ops & monitoring: Automate CI/CD, include canary releases, and invest in telemetry for usage and cost insights.
