AWS SaaS Factory Architecture Track: SaaS Identity and Onboarding

Identity and onboarding are among the first things to consider when building a SaaS solution. These concepts are often addressed as part of common flow, where a tenant’s identity, configuration, and provisioning are all orchestrated as part of the onboarding flow. In this course, you will learn the end-to-end elements of the onboarding process and highlight key considerations of building a robust SaaS identity and onboarding experience. You will also explore a specific approach that leverages OpenID Connect to embed tenant context into your system’s identity tokens, and examine how these tokens can be used to scope access to tenant resources. You will also explore the broader elements of onboarding, including billing relationships and the configuration and provisioning of the tenant environment.
