Seeking Collaborators for an Open Source SaaS Deployment Portal
As a seasoned full-stack developer with 17 years of experience, I am dedicated to creating solutions that streamline SaaS deployment processes. Currently, I manage a highly technical, open-source headless Content Management System (CMS): Squidex. This platform is available as a managed service with shared resources, catering to developers seeking a flexible, scalable CMS solution.
Addressing the Growing Needs of Large-Scale Clients
As my SaaS offerings evolve, it becomes increasingly challenging to meet the unique requirements of large clients. These customers often have specific deployment and scaling needs that standard solutions do not fully address. To better serve this segment, I am developing a dedicated deployment portal designed to provision customized, isolated instances for each customer.
Introducing the Deployment Portal: Omnisaas
This initiative has led me to create an open-source tool, currently under development, titled Omnisaas (a working title that may evolve). The portal aims to simplify the deployment process by providing user-friendly interfaces for both customers and administrators.
- Customer Interface: Allows clients to deploy their services effortlessly.
- Admin Interface: Enables administrators to define available services, versions, and configuration options.
Design Principles and Technology Stack
Importantly, I strive to avoid reinventing the wheel. The platform leverages established systems such as Helm and Docker Compose to manage service orchestration, focusing on integration and user experience. The target environment emphasizes affordability and accessibility, primarily partnering with small cloud providers like DigitalOcean and Vultr.
The core technologies powering Omnisaas include:
– TypeScript
– NestJS
– React
– Tailwind CSS paired with DaisyUI
– Temporal for workflow orchestration
Call for Collaboration
If you encounter similar challenges in your SaaS projects or are contemplating building a deployment management system, I would love to connect. Collaborating can help refine these tools, create more streamlined workflows, and open new possibilities for SaaS developers—especially in early adoption stages.
While niche, this initiative holds the potential to simplify complex deployment processes, reduce redundant efforts, and ultimately enable SaaS providers to focus more on their core offerings.
