AWS SaaS Factory Architecture Track: Multi-Tenant Data Partitioning

Storage is one those fundamental areas that every SaaS application must address. There are a number of factors—both technical and business—that can influence the strategy you choose for partitioning data for your tenants. The goal of this course is to provide you with an end-to-end review of the common techniques that are used to implement partitioning in SaaS environments. This course outlines the various models for partitioning and concludes with a review of how each storage pattern is realized on Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon S3. We’ll also explore optimization strategies than can be employed to address some of the challenges associated variations in tenant load and data size.
