BlazorPlate uses Clean Architecture, emphasizing separation of concerns and layer independence within the application. This architecture promotes a scalable, organized project structure that is easy to modify. In Clean Architecture, the application is divided into layers, including the Presentation, Application, Domain, and Infrastructure layers.

BlazorPlate’s design allows clear separation of concerns, enabling easy modification and testing. Each layer functions independently, allowing changes without affecting other layers. This pattern is especially beneficial for large projects requiring frequent updates.

Additionally, BlazorPlate incorporates architectural features like interfaces and dependency injection, enhancing the application’s modularity and maintainability.

Core Layers

Domain Layer

BP.Domain

This project contains the core domain logic, including entities, value objects, enumerations, and custom exceptions. It encapsulates business rules and domain-specific behavior.

Application Layer

BP.Application

This layer contains commands, queries, validators, and custom exceptions, orchestrating data flow and operations between the domain and infrastructure layers.

Infrastructure Layer

BP.Infrastructure

This project includes implementations for external interfaces, including database access, file operations, and external services.

Presentation Layer

BP.Endpoints

This provides endpoints for communication via APIs or web services.

BP.Tdap

This project encompasses the Tenant Dedicated/Administration Portals:

• Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP): A dedicated platform for tenant subscribers, accessible through a custom sub-domain like tenant01.example.com.
• Tenant Administration Portal (TAP): A centralized platform managed by Host Administrators for tenant management, accessible at the primary domain, such as example.com.

BP.Top

This project serves as the Tenant Onboarding Portal (TOP), streamlining the onboarding process through a personalized subdomain URL for easy access to the Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP).

BlazorPlate's data access layer is built using EF Core, compatible with relational database providers like SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle. For a full list, refer to the official EF Core documentation here. For any compatibility questions, reach out to us at info@blazorplate.net.

Absolutely! BlazorPlate's flexible architecture allows replacing the default MudBlazor component library with alternatives like Infragistics, Syncfusion, or Telerik, as needed. The Blazor framework is versatile, enabling customization to fit specific requirements.

Certainly! The BlazorPlate platform allows replacing the Blazor client-side project with a JavaScript framework like Angular or React, while still using the existing Web APIs.

BlazorPlate’s architecture supports various client-side frameworks, letting developers create applications with their preferred tech stack, while benefiting from BlazorPlate's robust Web APIs.

Yes, BlazorPlate supports integration with both Azure Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and AWS IAM Identity Center for authentication. This allows you to leverage enterprise-grade identity management, single sign-on (SSO), and role-based access control (RBAC) seamlessly within your application. Whether you're using Azure Entra ID or AWS IAM Identity Center, BlazorPlate provides the flexibility to meet your authentication needs. For guidance on setting up these integrations, reach out to us at support@blazorplate.net.

BlazorPlate supports single-tenant model and multi-tenant model.

In the single-tenant model, each tenant operates within its own instance of the software application and database, which cannot be shared with other tenants. This grants each tenant complete control over their application instance, but it may also entail higher costs and maintenance efforts.

In contrast, in the multi-tenant model, numerous tenants have access to a single instance of the SaaS application and database. This approach offers potential cost reductions and streamlines maintenance efforts. Depending on the configuration, this could involve a shared database for all tenants or a dedicated database for each individual tenant.

BlazorPlate provides powerful support for tenant data isolation, ensuring that each tenant can access and manipulate only their own data. This is achieved through two primary strategies: a shared database for all tenants, or a separate database for each tenant. In the first strategy, each tenant's data is logically separated by a unique identifier within a common database. In contrast, the second strategy physically separates each tenant's data into their own separate database.

With these flexible data isolation strategies, BlazorPlate enables developers to create highly secure, scalable, and customizable web applications that cater to the unique needs of each tenant.

The Tenant Onboarding Portal (TOP) in BlazorPlate serves as the primary gateway for new tenants, simplifying the registration process with a customized subdomain URL based on the tenant's business name. This ensures a seamless transition to their dedicated Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP), accessible via their unique subdomain URL, like my-business-name.saas.com.

In a SaaS/Multi-tenant BlazorPlate application, the Host refers to the company that owns and manages the system. They are responsible for managing the subscription of tenants and providing them with access to the service. On the other hand, the Tenant refers to the customer who pays for and uses the service provided by the host. Each tenant is a separate entity with its own data, settings, and permissions within the application.

The Tenant Administration Portal (TAP) serves as a centralized platform managed by Host Admins, who represent the company behind the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. It efficiently handles tenant management, including the creation of tenant accounts on behalf of customers, providing Host Admins with basic functionalities for modifying, deleting, and managing these accounts.

The Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP) in BlazorPlate is a dedicated platform provided by the SaaS provider (The Host) for each tenant organization. It serves as a centralized hub for tenant-specific functionalities, customizations, and administrative tasks.

In addition to Tenant Admins, there are regular users within each tenant organization who have standard user accounts. These regular users have access to the TDP but typically have limited privileges compared to Tenant Admins. They may use the TDP to access features and resources relevant to their roles within the organization, such as viewing content, interacting with specific modules, or collaborating with team members.

Tenant Admins play a crucial role in managing the TDP. They have administrative privileges within the tenant organization, allowing them to control user access by granting or revoking permissions, configuring settings, managing user accounts, and overseeing the overall functionality of the portal.

While Tenant Admins oversee the TDP and have administrative control over its configuration and management, regular users utilize the portal to perform their day-to-day tasks within the scope of their roles and responsibilities.

In BlazorPlate, the Hybrid Multitenancy Model refers to a flexible approach where tenants have the choice to select their preferred data isolation strategy during the tenant onboarding process. This model allows tenants to decide whether they want to utilize a shared database for all tenants or have a separate database for each tenant. BlazorPlate seamlessly accommodates their choice, providing a versatile solution tailored to their specific needs.

In BlazorPlate's implementation of hybrid multi-tenancy, tenants can opt for either a shared database for all tenants or a separate database for each tenant. Hybrid database isolation is achieved by deploying two instances of the Tenant Dedicated Portal (TDP), each configured with a different Data Isolation Strategy. Additionally, the Tenant Onboarding Portal (TOP) can be customized to enable customers to select their preferred strategy during registration, automatically directing them to the appropriate TDP instance. This comprehensive approach ensures that tenants have the flexibility to customize their environment according to their unique requirements while maintaining the efficiency and resource-sharing benefits of multi-tenancy.
