Designing a real Serverless SaaS platform often means dealing with one of the most underestimated challenges of cloud-native architectures: networking and connectivity. Stateless functions, managed services, multi-tenant APIs, private resources, and distributed data layers must interact across boundaries that evolve quickly as the platform scales.

In this session, we’ll explore how serverless applications actually communicate: VPC-to-serverless patterns, hybrid connectivity with existing services, private endpoints, service-to-service integrations, and the trade-offs between public, private and shared network layers. We’ll look at how networking constraints influence architectural choices, cost models, operational workflows, and developer experience.

Practical examples will show how to structure your connectivity model from early-stage prototypes to more mature SaaS platforms; avoiding common pitfalls around latency, cross-service communication, data access paths, and multi-environment setups.

A final section will touch on security and scalability considerations.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights to streamline networking and connectivity, enabling them to build secure, resilient, and high-performance SaaS platforms.
