Building Multi-tenant and SaaS products in PHP

Let’s look at how you can build multi-tenant applications and SaaS products in PHP faster and better with the open source Innomatic Platform.

We will take a look at how to easily build a scalable infrastructure, integrating Innomatic with Amazon AWS. We will also see how Innomatic brings developers and system administrators a continuous delivery approach in a DevOp fashion.

1. Building Multi-Tenant and SaaS products in PHP
2. What is Innomatic? 2
3. First of all: what is NOT Innomatic? Innomatic is NOT a framework like Laravel or Symfony – in fact, we are progressively migrating to a system based on Symfony components! 3
4. So, what really is Innomatic? Innomatic is an open source platform for: developing, deploying and managing Multi-Tenant and SaaS web applications in PHP 4

6. Building new SaaS: Classic vs Innomatic approach 6 Innomatic Platform Go live! Classic life cycle Innomatic life cycle Learn and configure Innomatic + time + budget to develop & market the app Innomatic Platform Go live! (late…) Develop infrastructure (multi tenancy, build system, billing tools, CRM, etc.) - Time - budget to develop & market the app Opt.: Innomedia CMF for web sites + Innowork BAF for intranets

8. Multi-Tenancy in Innomatic 8 Innomatic Platform Innomatic strategy: Multi-Tenant code + Single Tenant databases
9. Frustrated Sysadmin/Developer 9 Innomatic Platform
10. Innomatic = Innovation + AUTOMATIC Innomatic handles this for you Deployment and update tasks are automatized by Innomatic for each tenant 10 Innomatic Platform
11. An Innomatic application is a set of components of the types supported by Innomatic or other Innomatic based applications: •  PHP classes, •  database tables, •  catalogues of localization strings, •  dashboard widgets, •  desktop UI elements, •  traybar items, •  maintenance tasks, •  etc. Structure of an Innomatic application 11 Innomatic Platform
12. This is the core of Innomatic automation at runtime. Each component type defines the operation to be executed in the following phases: Innomatic components operations Innomatic Platform 12 Application: •  Deploy inside Innomatic •  Upgrade •  Undeploy Tenant: •  Enable component to the tenant •  Upgrade component in the tenant •  Disable component from the tenant

15. <components> <tempdir name="example-basic-app" /> <domaingroup name="examples" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" /> <domaintable name="example_basic_table" file="example_basic_table.xml" /> <domainpanel name="basicapp" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" category="examples" /> <catalog name="example-basic-app" /> <class name="examples/basic/BasicClass.php" /> </components> </application> The application.xml file 3/3 – Components Innomatic Platform 15 You can also use Composer for your classes
16. You can also declare your dependencies to external packages using Composer: you only have to add your composer.json inside your application package. Since Innomatic is a platform and you deploy applications at runtime, Innomatic provides a recursive Composers dependencies feature with multiple composer.json from different Innomatic applications. Including classes and packages with Composer Innomatic Platform 16
17. Applications may also define their own component types that can be used by other applications. Extending Component Types Innomatic Platform 17
18. Normally Innomatic desktop applications are built up of various panels which provide an USER INTERFACE inside the Innomatic desktop. Panels & Panel Groups Innomatic Platform 18
19. Declaring a Panel inside application.xml Innomatic Platform 19 <tempdir name="example-basic-app" /> <domaingroup name="examples" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" /> <domaintable name="example_basic_table" file="example_basic_table.xml" /> <domainpanel name="basicapp" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" category="examples" /> <catalog name="example-basic-app" /> <class name="examples/basic/BasicClass.php" />
20. class BasicappPanelViews extends \Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelViews { public function update($observable, $arg = '’) {} public function beginHelper() {} public function endHelper() {} public function viewDefault($eventData) { $this->tpl->set(’title', ‘Panel title’); } } Panel views – View code example Innomatic Platform 20
21. class BasicappPanelActions extends \Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelActions { public function __construct(\Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelController $controller) { parent::__construct($controller); } public function beginHelper() {} public function endHelper() {} public function executeDeleteItem($eventData) { $this->dataAccess->execute(‘DELETE FROM my_items WHERE ID=‘.$eventData[‘id’]); } } Panel actions – Code example Innomatic Platform 21

24. Some Real Life Tenant Applications 24
25. Tenant Desktops and Web Apps Tenants have 2 types of interfaces: Tenant Desktop A web desktop with a standard GUI for backoffice applications accessible via a login panel. e.g. intranet, enterprise applications Web App An interface for external web applications with a chained router e.g. public web sites, extranets The Tenant Desktop and the Web App share the same database and can interact (e.g. you may have a CMS inside the Desktop for managing the Web App content). 25 Innomatic Platform
