The SaaS & Systems Architecture Engineering Rules

Non-negotiable architectural practices we implement across founder codebases to prevent premature rewrites and ensure investor-grade quality.

1

Modular Monolith Before Microservices

Never introduce distributed microservices until a single compute runtime cannot sustain load or when multiple autonomous teams require separated deployment boundaries.

2

Postgres Row-Level Security on Day 1

Enforce multi-tenant data isolation directly at the database engine level via RLS policies rather than relying on brittle ORM application-level WHERE clauses.

3

In-Memory Decoupled Events

Use typed in-process event buses for domain module separation. Postpone external cloud queue brokers until multi-instance background workers are required.

4

Strict Directory Boundary Encapsulation

Expose only designated public module contracts via index.ts and prohibit cross-domain internal imports with compiler and linter rules.
