Multi-Tenant SaaS Redesign Implementation Guide
Executive Summary
This document provides step-by-step instructions for transforming MotoVaultPro from a single-user application into a subdomain-based multi-tenant SaaS platform. The current implementation will become the "admin" tenant with full platform access, while new tenants get isolated application stacks.
Architecture Overview
Current State
- Single-user application with user-scoped data isolation
- Microservices: Application service + MVP Platform Services
- Docker Compose development environment
- Auth0 authentication with user-level access
Target State
- Multi-tenant SaaS with subdomain routing
- Admin tenant:
admin.motovaultpro.com(current implementation) - New tenants:
{tenant-id}.motovaultpro.com - Platform services: Shared infrastructure across all tenants
- Per-tenant databases: Complete data isolation
- Tenant-specific signup: With admin approval workflow
Key Technical Specifications
Subdomain Architecture
- Landing Page:
motovaultpro.com→ Platform landing service - Admin Tenant:
admin.motovaultpro.com→ Admin application stack - Regular Tenants:
{tenant-id}.motovaultpro.com→ Tenant application stack - Platform Services: Shared APIs accessible by all tenants
Tenant Identification
- Admin Tenant ID:
"admin"(hardcoded identifier) - Regular Tenant IDs: Alphanumeric slugs (e.g.,
"acme-corp","demo-tenant") - Auth0 Storage:
tenant_idstored in user metadata - JWT Claims: Include
tenant_idfor downstream service authentication
Database Strategy
- Platform Database: Shared tenant management + vehicle platform data
- Per-Tenant Databases: Separate PostgreSQL container per tenant
- Schema: Same application schema deployed to each tenant database
- Migration: Big bang transformation (breaking changes acceptable)
Implementation Plan
Phase 1: Multi-Tenant Foundation & Platform Services
1.1 Create Tenant Management Platform Service
New Service: mvp-platform-tenants
Directory Structure:

Database Schema (platform-postgres):
-- Tenant registry
CREATE TABLE tenants (
id VARCHAR(100) PRIMARY KEY, -- 'admin', 'acme-corp', etc.
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, -- Display name
subdomain VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL, -- Same as id for simplicity
status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'active', -- active, pending, suspended
admin_user_id VARCHAR(255), -- Auth0 user ID of tenant admin
settings JSONB DEFAULT '{}', -- Tenant-specific configuration
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Tenant signup approval workflow
CREATE TABLE tenant_signups (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
tenant_id VARCHAR(100) REFERENCES tenants(id),
user_email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
user_auth0_id VARCHAR(255), -- Auth0 user ID after signup
status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'pending', -- pending, approved, rejected
requested_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
approved_by VARCHAR(255), -- Auth0 ID of approving admin
approved_at TIMESTAMP
);
-- Initial data
INSERT INTO tenants (id, name, subdomain, status, admin_user_id)
VALUES ('admin', 'Admin Tenant', 'admin', 'active', NULL);
API Endpoints (/api/v1/tenants):
POST /tenants # Create new tenant (platform admin only)
GET /tenants # List all tenants (platform admin only)
GET /tenants/{tenant_id} # Get tenant details
PUT /tenants/{tenant_id} # Update tenant settings
DELETE /tenants/{tenant_id} # Suspend tenant
POST /tenants/{tenant_id}/signups # Request signup approval
GET /tenants/{tenant_id}/signups # List pending signups (tenant admin only)
PUT /signups/{signup_id}/approve # Approve signup (tenant admin only)
PUT /signups/{signup_id}/reject # Reject signup (tenant admin only)
1.2 Create Landing Page Platform Service
New Service: mvp-platform-landing
Directory Structure:
mvp-platform-services/landing/
├── src/
│ ├── App.tsx
│ ├── components/
│ │ ├── HomePage.tsx
│ │ ├── TenantSignup.tsx
│ │ └── TenantLogin.tsx
│ ├── services/
│ │ ├── auth0.ts
│ │ └── tenantService.ts
│ └── utils/
│ └── routing.ts
├── public/
├── package.json
├── Dockerfile
└── README.md
Key Features:
- Homepage: Marketing content at
motovaultpro.com - Tenant Signup: Forms at
motovaultpro.com/signup/{tenant-id} - Auth0 Integration: Tenant-aware authentication flow
- Routing Logic: Redirect authenticated users to their tenant subdomain
Signup Flow:
- User visits
motovaultpro.com/signup/{tenant-id} - Landing page validates tenant exists and accepts signups
- Auth0 signup with
tenant_idstored in user metadata - User status set to "pending" until admin approval
- Entry created in
tenant_signupstable - Tenant admin receives notification to approve/reject
1.3 Update Docker Compose for Multi-Tenant Architecture
New docker-compose.yml Structure:
version: '3.8'
services:
# Platform Services (Shared)
mvp-platform-tenants:

admin-postgres:
# Existing postgres service renamed
admin-redis:
# Existing redis service renamed
volumes:

# Keep existing volumes, add tenant-specific volumes as needed
Phase 2: Authentication & Tenant-Aware Auth0
2.1 Multi-Tenant Auth0 Configuration
Auth0 Application Settings:
- Allowed Callback URLs:
http://localhost:3002/callback(landing page development)https://motovaultpro.com/callback(landing page production)http://admin.motovaultpro.local/callback(admin tenant development)https://admin.motovaultpro.com/callback(admin tenant production)http://{tenant-id}.motovaultpro.local/callback(tenant development)https://{tenant-id}.motovaultpro.com/callback(tenant production)
Auth0 Rules for Tenant Context:
function addTenantToToken(user, context, callback) {
const namespace = 'https://motovaultpro.com/';
// Extract tenant from signup metadata or determine from email domain
let tenantId = user.user_metadata && user.user_metadata.tenant_id;
// For existing users, default to admin tenant
if (!tenantId) {
tenantId = 'admin';
}
// Add tenant_id to JWT token
context.idToken[namespace + 'tenant_id'] = tenantId;
context.accessToken[namespace + 'tenant_id'] = tenantId;
callback(null, user, context);
}
User Metadata Schema:
{
"user_metadata": {
"tenant_id": "admin",
"signup_status": "approved",
"approval_date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}
}
2.2 Landing Page Auth0 Integration
Tenant-Specific Signup (src/components/TenantSignup.tsx):
interface TenantSignupProps {
tenantId: string;
}
export const TenantSignup: React.FC<TenantSignupProps> = ({ tenantId }) => {
const { loginWithRedirect } = useAuth0();
const handleSignup = async () => {
await loginWithRedirect({
screen_hint: 'signup',
redirectUri: `${window.location.origin}/callback`,
// Store tenant_id in Auth0 user metadata during signup
signup: {
user_metadata: {
tenant_id: tenantId,
signup_status: 'pending'
}
}
});
};
return (
<div>
<h2>Sign up for {tenantId}</h2>
<button onClick={handleSignup}>
Create Account
</button>
</div>
);
};
Post-Authentication Routing (src/utils/routing.ts):
export const redirectToTenant = (user: Auth0User) => {
const tenantId = user['https://motovaultpro.com/tenant_id'];
const status = user.user_metadata?.signup_status;
if (status === 'pending') {
// Show "approval pending" message
window.location.href = '/approval-pending';
return;
}
if (status !== 'approved') {
// Invalid user state
window.location.href = '/access-denied';
return;
}
// Redirect to tenant subdomain
const subdomain = tenantId === 'admin' ? 'admin' : tenantId;
window.location.href = `http://${subdomain}.motovaultpro.local`;
};
2.3 Signup Approval Workflow
Admin Dashboard for Approval (in admin tenant):
// Add to admin frontend: src/features/tenant-management/
export const SignupApprovals: React.FC = () => {
const [pendingSignups, setPendingSignups] = useState([]);
const approveSignup = async (signupId: string) => {
await fetch(`/api/tenants/signups/${signupId}/approve`, {
method: 'PUT',
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
});
// Update Auth0 user metadata to approved
// Refresh list
};
return (
<div>
<h2>Pending Signups</h2>
{pendingSignups.map(signup => (
<div key={signup.id}>
<p>{signup.user_email} wants to join {signup.tenant_id}</p>
<button onClick={() => approveSignup(signup.id)}>
Approve
</button>
</div>
))}
</div>
);
};
Phase 3: Application Stack Tenant Transformation
3.1 Add Tenant Context Throughout Backend
Tenant Detection Middleware (backend/src/core/middleware/tenant.ts):
import { FastifyRequest, FastifyReply, HookHandlerDoneFunction } from 'fastify';
export interface TenantRequest extends FastifyRequest {
tenantId: string;
}
export const tenantMiddleware = (
request: TenantRequest,
reply: FastifyReply,
done: HookHandlerDoneFunction
) => {
// Method 1: From environment variable (container-level)
const envTenantId = process.env.TENANT_ID;
// Method 2: From JWT token claims
const jwtTenantId = request.user?.['https://motovaultpro.com/tenant_id'];
// Method 3: From subdomain parsing (if needed)
const host = request.headers.host || '';
const subdomain = host.split('.')[0];
// Priority: Environment > JWT > Subdomain
request.tenantId = envTenantId || jwtTenantId || subdomain || 'admin';
// Validate tenant exists
if (!isValidTenant(request.tenantId)) {
reply.code(403).send({ error: 'Invalid tenant' });
return;
}
done();
};
const isValidTenant = (tenantId: string): boolean => {
// Query platform tenants service to validate
// For now, hardcode known tenants
return ['admin', 'demo-tenant', 'acme-corp'].includes(tenantId);
};
Environment-Based Tenant Configuration:
// backend/src/core/config/tenant.ts
export const getTenantConfig = () => {
const tenantId = process.env.TENANT_ID || 'admin';
return {
tenantId,
databaseUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL || `postgresql://user:pass@${tenantId}-postgres:5432/${tenantId}`,
redisUrl: process.env.REDIS_URL || `redis://${tenantId}-redis:6379`,
platformServicesUrl: process.env.PLATFORM_SERVICES_URL || 'http://mvp-platform-tenants:8000',
isAdminTenant: tenantId === 'admin'
};
};
Update Database Configuration (backend/src/core/config/database.ts):
import { Pool } from 'pg';
import { getTenantConfig } from './tenant';
const tenantConfig = getTenantConfig();
export const pool = new Pool({
connectionString: tenantConfig.databaseUrl,
// Connection pool per tenant database
});
// Update all queries to use tenant-specific database
// No changes needed to query logic since each tenant has separate DB
3.2 Convert Current Implementation to Admin Tenant
Step 1: Rename Existing Containers
# In docker-compose.yml, rename:
backend -> admin-backend
frontend -> admin-frontend
postgres -> admin-postgres
redis -> admin-redis
minio -> admin-minio
Step 2: Update Environment Variables
admin-backend:
build: ./backend
environment:
- TENANT_ID=admin
- DATABASE_URL=postgresql://motovault_user:${DB_PASSWORD}@admin-postgres:5432/motovault
- REDIS_URL=redis://admin-redis:6379
- PLATFORM_TENANTS_API_URL=http://mvp-platform-tenants:8000
- PLATFORM_VEHICLES_API_URL=http://mvp-platform-vehicles-api:8000
admin-frontend:
build: ./frontend
environment:
- REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL=http://admin-backend:3001
- REACT_APP_TENANT_ID=admin
- REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=${AUTH0_DOMAIN}
Step 3: Add Admin-Only Features (backend/src/features/tenant-management/):
// New feature capsule for tenant management (admin only)
export const tenantManagementRoutes = async (fastify: FastifyInstance) => {
// Middleware to ensure admin tenant only
fastify.addHook('preHandler', async (request: TenantRequest, reply) => {
if (request.tenantId !== 'admin') {
reply.code(403).send({ error: 'Admin access required' });
return;
}
});
fastify.get('/api/admin/tenants', async (request, reply) => {
// List all tenants
});
fastify.post('/api/admin/tenants', async (request, reply) => {
// Create new tenant + provision infrastructure
});
fastify.get('/api/admin/signups', async (request, reply) => {
// List pending signups across all tenants
});
};
3.3 Per-Tenant Database Architecture
Tenant Provisioning Script (scripts/provision-tenant.sh):
#!/bin/bash
TENANT_ID=$1
if [ -z "$TENANT_ID" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <tenant-id>"
exit 1
fi
# Add tenant containers to docker-compose.yml
echo "
${TENANT_ID}-backend:
build: ./backend
environment:
- TENANT_ID=${TENANT_ID}
- DATABASE_URL=postgresql://motovault_user:\${DB_PASSWORD}@${TENANT_ID}-postgres:5432/motovault
- REDIS_URL=redis://${TENANT_ID}-redis:6379
depends_on:
- ${TENANT_ID}-postgres
- ${TENANT_ID}-redis
${TENANT_ID}-frontend:
build: ./frontend
environment:
- REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL=http://${TENANT_ID}-backend:3001
- REACT_APP_TENANT_ID=${TENANT_ID}
depends_on:
- ${TENANT_ID}-backend
${TENANT_ID}-postgres:
image: postgres:15
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: motovault
POSTGRES_USER: motovault_user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: \${DB_PASSWORD}
volumes:
- ./backend/src/_system/migrations:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
- ${TENANT_ID}_postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
${TENANT_ID}-redis:
image: redis:7-alpine
volumes:
- ${TENANT_ID}_redis_data:/data
" >> docker-compose.yml
# Add volumes
echo "
${TENANT_ID}_postgres_data:
${TENANT_ID}_redis_data:
" >> docker-compose.yml
echo "Tenant ${TENANT_ID} provisioned. Run 'docker compose up -d' to start."
Automated Migration Deployment:
// backend/src/_system/migrations/run-all.ts - no changes needed
// Each tenant database gets the same schema deployed via init scripts
// Migrations run independently per tenant database
Phase 4: Platform Services Multi-Tenant Support
4.1 Update Platform Vehicles Service
Add Tenant Context (mvp-platform-services/vehicles/api/main.py):
from fastapi import Header, HTTPException
async def get_tenant_context(
authorization: str = Header(),
x_tenant_id: str = Header(None)
):
# Extract tenant from JWT or header
tenant_id = x_tenant_id or extract_tenant_from_jwt(authorization)
if not tenant_id:
raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Tenant context required")
return {
"tenant_id": tenant_id,
"is_admin": tenant_id == "admin"
}
@app.get("/api/v1/vehicles/makes")
async def get_makes(
year: int,
tenant_context: dict = Depends(get_tenant_context)
):
# Admin tenant gets all data, regular tenants get standard data
# For vehicle platform data, this is mostly the same
# But we can add tenant-specific caching or filtering if needed
cache_key = f"makes:{year}:{tenant_context['tenant_id']}"
# ... rest of endpoint logic
Service-to-Service Authentication:
// backend/src/features/vehicles/external/platform-vehicles/platform-vehicles.client.ts
export class PlatformVehiclesClient {
constructor(
private readonly baseUrl: string,
private readonly apiKey: string,
private readonly tenantId: string
) {}
async getVehicleMakes(year: number) {
const response = await axios.get(`${this.baseUrl}/api/v1/vehicles/makes`, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.apiKey}`,
'X-Tenant-ID': this.tenantId
},
params: { year }
});
return response.data;
}
}
4.2 Tenant Management APIs
Platform Tenants Service Routes (mvp-platform-services/tenants/api/routes/tenants.py):
@router.post("/tenants")
async def create_tenant(
tenant_data: TenantCreate,
current_user: dict = Depends(get_admin_user)
):
# Create tenant record
tenant = await tenant_service.create_tenant(tenant_data)
# Provision infrastructure (Docker containers)
await provisioning_service.provision_tenant(tenant.id)
return tenant
@router.get("/tenants/{tenant_id}/signups")
async def get_tenant_signups(
tenant_id: str,
current_user: dict = Depends(get_tenant_admin)
):
# List pending signups for this tenant
return await signup_service.get_pending_signups(tenant_id)
@router.put("/signups/{signup_id}/approve")
async def approve_signup(
signup_id: int,
current_user: dict = Depends(get_tenant_admin)
):
# Approve signup and update Auth0 user metadata
await signup_service.approve_signup(signup_id, current_user['sub'])
await auth0_service.update_user_metadata(signup_id, {"signup_status": "approved"})
return {"status": "approved"}

Testing & Validation
End-to-End Testing Scenarios
-
Landing Page:
- Visit
http://motovaultpro.local→ See homepage - Click "Sign Up" → Redirect to tenant selection or Auth0
- Visit
-
Admin Tenant:
- Visit
http://admin.motovaultpro.local→ Redirect to Auth0 - Login with admin user → Access admin tenant with full features
- Admin dashboard shows tenant management options
- Visit
-
Regular Tenant:
- Visit
http://demo-tenant.motovaultpro.local→ Redirect to Auth0 - Login with tenant user → Access tenant-specific application
- No access to admin features
- Visit
-
Signup Workflow:
- Visit
http://motovaultpro.local/signup/demo-tenant→ Tenant signup form - Complete Auth0 signup → User status = "pending"
- Admin approves in admin dashboard → User status = "approved"
- User can now login to tenant subdomain
- Visit
Database Validation
-- Platform database
SELECT * FROM tenants;
SELECT * FROM tenant_signups WHERE status = 'pending';
-- Admin tenant database (same as current)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vehicles;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fuel_logs;
-- Regular tenant database (isolated)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM vehicles; -- Should be different from admin
Migration Checklist
Pre-Migration Backup
- Export current database:
pg_dump motovault > backup_pre_migration.sql - Backup configuration files and environment variables
- Document current user accounts and Auth0 configuration
Phase 1 Implementation

- Platform Backup: Tenant management and platform services data
- Recovery Testing: Validate ability to restore individual tenants
Scaling Considerations
- Tenant Limits: Define maximum number of tenants per instance
- Resource Quotas: CPU/memory limits per tenant
- Database Scaling: Plan for database performance with many tenant databases
Security
- Tenant Isolation: Verify no cross-tenant data access possible
- Admin Access: Secure admin tenant from unauthorized access
- Platform Services: Ensure proper authentication between services

Phase 2: Authentication & Tenant-Aware Auth0 ✅ COMPLETED
2.1 Multi-Tenant Auth0 Configuration ✅
- Auth0 Configuration Guide: Created comprehensive setup documentation in
mvp-platform-services/tenants/AUTH0-CONFIG.md - Callback URLs: Documented for all tenant subdomains (development and production)
- JWT Token Format: Specified custom claims for tenant context
- Auth0 Rules: Complete rule definitions for tenant metadata and signup status
2.2 JWT Authentication System ✅

Next Steps - Phase 3: Tenant Application Stack
Phase 3 Status (Current)
- ✅ Tenant detection middleware implemented and applied post-auth per route (priority: env TENANT_ID > JWT claim > subdomain).
- ✅ Tenant validation now calls Platform Tenants API dynamically (no hardcoded lists) with a small in-memory cache.
- ✅ Backend config is tenant-aware:
- Database pool uses tenant connection string.
- Redis client uses tenant Redis URL.
- ✅ Platform Vehicles client sends
X-Tenant-IDheader; constructed with containerTENANT_ID. - ✅ Admin-only tenant management routes added in admin tenant:
- GET/POST
/api/admin/tenantsproxy to Platform Tenants. - GET
/api/admin/tenants/:tenantId/signupsproxy for pending signups. - PUT
/api/admin/signups/:signupId/{approve|reject}proxy for approvals.
- GET/POST
- ✅ Docker Compose updated to parameterize
TENANT_IDfor admin services; clone compose per tenant and setTENANT_IDaccordingly. - ✅ Admin frontend Nginx proxy fixed to target
admin-backend.
Known Health/Operational Notes
- ⚠️
admin-frontendhealthcheck probes HTTP 3000 which redirects to HTTPS 3443. Healthcheck may report unhealthy despite service working. Consider probinghttps://localhost:3443or allowing redirects. - ⚠️
mvp-platform-tenantsruns and serves requests but the compose healthcheck targets/health. Ensure the service exposes/healthor update the healthcheck path. - ✅
admin-backend,admin-postgres,admin-redis, Platform Vehicles API/DB/Redis are running and passing their checks; backend migrations complete at startup.
Pending (Phase 3)
- Add
/healthendpoint in Platform Tenants service (or adjust compose healthcheck). - Adjust admin-frontend healthcheck to probe HTTPS.
- Optional: Introduce caching layer for tenant validation with configurable TTL and background refresh.
- Optional: Expose admin UI in frontend for tenants and signups (API endpoints are ready).
Architecture Status
- Platform Infrastructure: ✅ Operational
- Admin Tenant: ✅ Ready (existing functionality preserved)
- Multi-Tenant Foundation: ✅ Complete
- Landing Page: ✅ Functional; healthcheck needs adjustment (HTTP→HTTPS redirect)
