Upsun as a SaaS development and management platform
Blog post from Upsun
Upsun is a platform designed to enhance the development and management of single-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) applications by leveraging features like source integrations and source operations. Single-tenant SaaS models present unique challenges due to the need to maintain and update multiple instances of an application, but Upsun simplifies this process through automation and efficient deployment strategies. Source integrations allow for seamless linking of code repositories to Upsun projects, enabling automatic updates and testing across all instances. Meanwhile, source operations complement this by facilitating the deployment of code changes and new releases to numerous projects managed from a single repository. Upsun's tools also support the testing and rollout of new features by creating production-like environments for development. Additionally, Upsun offers the potential for SaaS providers to transition into the Platform as a Service (PaaS) market, providing a pathway for offering both SaaS and PaaS versions of a product, which can enhance return on investment and expand market opportunities.
