AWS’ SaaS Boost
This open-source tool for accelerating software-as-a-service (SaaS) migrations for independent software vendors (ISVs) provides the needed foundational capabilities to onboard users, provision infrastructure for tenants, monitor consumption trends, configure tenant profiles, integrate with a billing system and surface key metrics with only environment configuration effort required to begin.
In May, AWS SaaS Boost became publicly available on GitHub, the open-source code repository service.
Adrian De Luca, head of worldwide partner solution architecture and global ISV build programs at AWS, likened AWS SaaS Boost at the time to a “space launch system for your applications, with all the ground operation and rockets to help you propel and manage your software as a service in the AWS cloud.”
