Crafting my own SaaS Decisions Unveiled
summary
Builds a hobby financial tracker using Next.js + React with Hosia for the UI and a modular monolith API on Azure, choosing Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL and Blob storage for data, Azure AD B2C for identity and DevOps pipelines for CI/CD. Chooses CQRS and event sourcing to focus on features, uses partition keys and warns about noisy neighbors, rejects per-customer deployments and avoid bespoke integrations in favor of common third-party APIs. Project compiles and runs but remains unreleased while validating market fit.
