Building Multi-Tenant SaaS in 15 Days: Lessons from the Trenches
After 15 days of intense coding, I dug deep into the challenges of building a production-ready, multi-tenant SaaS with AI as my co-pilot. The experience was far from seamless; here’s what I learned:
-
The Reality of RLS and OAuth: Concepts like Row-Level Security (RLS) and OAuth tokens posed unexpected hurdles. It turned out that presuming everything would work smoothly led to significant oversights.
-
Invisible Failures: The most daunting issues were silent. From environment variable inconsistencies to session context errors, the real world of production didn’t align with theoretical expectations.
-
AI’s Limitations: AI generated code quickly, but failed to ensure system-wide coherence. For every efficient line of code, there was a hidden snag waiting to surface.
Despite these challenges, this 15-day journey underscored the essential role of meticulous documentation and rigorous governance in engineering.
