Architecture Patterns for SaaS
Pattern 1
Standard Next.js architecture patterns
Pattern 2
Best practices for SaaS implementations
Pattern 3
Scalable design for SaaS workloads
Performance
Leverage automatic code splitting, use Suspense for streaming, implement proper image optimization, minimize client-side JavaScript, use edge middleware for latency-sensitive operations.
Security
Implement middleware for route protection, use Server Actions with proper validation, secure API routes with authentication checks, never expose sensitive environment variables to client.
Scaling
Vercel handles scaling automatically for most use cases. Self-hosting requires proper CDN and edge caching. Consider ISR with on-demand revalidation for high-traffic dynamic content.
