Session Goal: The goal of this session was to explore and plan the development of a multi-tenant SaaS architecture using Streamlit, FastAPI, and other cloud services. The session aimed to outline the necessary steps for transitioning from CLI tools to a scalable SaaS application.
Key Activities:
- Discussed the limitations of Streamlit for multi-user support and evaluated options for implementing multi-tenancy, including minimal authentication and backend integration with JWT.
- Outlined a strategic plan for transitioning CLI tools to a multi-user SaaS architecture, considering architectural changes and technology stack options.
- Compared Hugging Face Spaces and Google Cloud Platform for deploying FastAPI applications, analyzing pros and cons for each.
- Developed a six-phase sprint plan for SaaS development, detailing goals, tasks, and deliverables from prototype to paywall implementation.
- Created a detailed guide for deploying FastAPI applications to Google Cloud Run, including Dockerfile creation and domain mapping.
- Implemented Firebase Authentication in FastAPI for Google login and user-specific configurations.
- Reflected on data access and ethics in SaaS applications, focusing on privacy design and legal compliance.
Achievements:
- Established a comprehensive plan for developing a multi-tenant SaaS application with clear deployment strategies.
- Completed guides for deploying FastAPI applications to both Hugging Face Spaces and Google Cloud Run.
- Integrated Firebase Authentication into FastAPI for enhanced user management.
Pending Tasks:
- Finalize the deployment of the email UI demo to Hugging Face Spaces.
- Continue refining the architectural considerations for local vs cloud deployment modes.
