Building a SaaS application is not an easy task.
When organizations create Saas offerings, several teams handle the research and development. However, the teams face similar challenges regarding cloud infrastructure capabilities. How do you deploy to the cloud? How do you handle logging? Observability? Security best practices? Tenant isolation?

Each SaaS application requires the same set of cloud infrastructure features and capabilities that make it production-ready. These features are unrelated to a specific business domain.
More often than none, these cloud infrastructure capabilities are developed concurrently by different teams as they continue their journey to a production-ready service. This may lead to multiple solutions, perhaps even another technological stack, all within the same organization, resulting in organizational waste.

What if I told you, you could reduce this waste and turn it into a catalysator of innovation, organizational knowledge sharing, and development acceleration?

As an architect in the cloud platform engineering group, in this talk, I’ll share our journey over the last three years, discuss what we do, how we reduce the organizational waste (and turn it around), the challenges we face, and how we solved them.
