Domain context
SaaS and internal tools connect several kinds of users to shared data. The engineering challenge is establishing who owns each operation, what can happen when a dependency fails, and how the product can be safely changed. Our first-party CMS and workspace provide concrete examples of permissions, publication workflows and transactional writes. We start with the workflow and the ownership model before choosing a tenancy or billing approach.
Problems worth solving
- Permissions that exist only in the interface
- Manual operations spread across unrelated tools
- External integrations with unclear failure semantics
Engineering focus
Define server-enforced operations, a useful administration workspace, and a release path that includes migrations and recovery.
