Build a Multi-Tenant SaaS App with Supabase and FastAPI
April 30, 2025
Multi-tenant SaaS apps allow multiple customers (tenants) to share the same infrastructure securely and efficiently. At Essid Solutions, we help startups launch fast using Supabase and FastAPI to build scalable, secure multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
🌐 Why Multi-Tenant Architecture?
- Serve multiple clients on a single backend
- Lower infrastructure and maintenance costs
- Centralized updates, monitoring, and scaling
- Support per-tenant roles, billing, and customization
Perfect for marketplaces, B2B dashboards, or admin portals.
⚖️ Architecture Overview
- Frontend – React / Next.js or Flutter (optional mobile)
- Backend API – FastAPI for routing, auth, and logic
- Database – Supabase with Row Level Security (RLS)
- Tenant Isolation – Auth-based RLS policies
- Billing – Stripe integration for per-tenant subscriptions
- Admin Panel – Supabase Studio + custom dashboards
🌐 Schema Design Options
- Shared schema, row isolation (simpler, RLS powered)
- Schema-per-tenant (more isolated, more complex)
- Hybrid depending on security or SLA requirements
Supabase excels at the first option with built-in RLS and Postgres features.
💼 Use Case: B2B Project Management SaaS
We helped a founder build a task management SaaS for small teams:
- Auth & RLS with Supabase
- FastAPI backend for user, task, project APIs
- Stripe for usage-based billing per workspace
- Admin dashboard for tenant metrics and control
Result: MVP launched in 4 weeks with 5 paying tenants onboarded.
