Starting a SaaS business requires a number of perspectives that are different from those used in software sales. These include a shift to an accumulation-type business, pricing to generate revenue, changing the mindset from software sales to service provision, building an operational structure, and utilizing cloud infrastructure. By creating a prototype of an actual working service as a PoC in just 10 days' time, you can learn deeply in a short time and take the first step toward providing SaaS.

In order to conduct a PoC in such a short period of time, it is essential to utilize AWS, which offers basic computing and database services (Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon RDS), as well as the characteristics of cloud computing. SaaS on AWS is feasible with an architecture that takes advantage of the flexibility of the cloud.

SaaS requires a Control Plane that handles authentication, authorization, tenant management, etc. The SaaSus Platform is a Control Plane as a Service, which is a set of functions required for SaaS. By using a Control Plane as a Service, rather than creating your own Control Plane, you can quickly convert to SaaS and focus on the business value of SaaS. SaaSus Platform can also be purchased from the AWS Marketplace.
