Executive Architecture Evaluation Briefing

How to Evaluate This Multi-Tenant SaaS Prototype

A production-ready reference architecture delivering complete data, user, and operational isolation across independent enterprise companies, powered by PostgreSQL 16 Row-Level Security, granular RBAC, deterministic financial workflows, and Securiti-governed AI.

Proof 1 • Database Kernel

PostgreSQL Isolation Engine

Interactive simulation proving zero cross-tenant data leakage via PostgreSQL Row-Level Security and transaction session context.

Proof 2 • Deterministic Ledger

Operations & Take-Rate Hub

Deterministic math engine (Platform Fee = Gross × 2.4% + $0.30). Zero LLM calculation hallucination. Live transaction mutation.

Proof 3 • Access Control

Granular RBAC Matrix

5 distinct roles across 10 fine-grained capabilities. Live policy evaluator testing 200 OK vs 403 Forbidden access decisions.

Proof 4 • Autonomous AI

Tenant AI Copilot & Audit

Dual-provider AI intelligence bounded strictly within company context. Securiti-certified inline LLM firewall and SHA-256 audit trail.

Zero-Leakage Multi-Tenancy Architecture: 1. PostgreSQL 16 RLS session policies (SET LOCAL app.current_tenant_id) ➔ 2. Deterministic ledger isolation ➔ 3. Pre-commit SHA-256 cryptographic audit trail.

PostgreSQL Multi-Tenant Isolation Engine

RLS ActiveShared DB + RLS

Session-driven Row-Level Security (RLS) guaranteeing complete data containment at the database kernel.

Strategy A (Recommended)Active Tenant

Shared DB + Row-Level Security

Single database, shared tables. PostgreSQL evaluates session context via current_setting('app.current_tenant_id').

Cost: Lowest ($)Migrations: 1xZero Leakage
Strategy B

Schema-Per-Tenant

Isolated PostgreSQL schemas (tenant_hrzn_410). Connection pools switch dynamic search_path per request.

Cost: Moderate ($$)Migrations: NxPhysical Boundary
Strategy C

Isolated Table Partition / VIP DB

Declarative table partitioning by LIST (tenant_id) or dedicated Amazon Aurora instance for high-compliance VIPs.

Cost: Highest ($$$)Migrations: CustomBaFin / HIPAA

1Execute DDL Schema

Run the SQL blueprint on your AWS Aurora, Supabase, or RDS instance to establish tables, indexes, and FORCE RLS policies.

2Configure PgBouncer Pooling

Set pool mode to transaction and ensure DISCARD ALL clears session parameters on checkout.

3Deploy Next.js / Node.js

Connect your application container. Session middleware injects SET LOCAL app.current_tenant_id per incoming HTTP request.
