Update – Slides from my talk were posted on SlideShare. Thanks to everyone who came and all the tweets!
I’ll be speaking at dev.Objective() this year in Minneapolis on a hybrid business/programming topic titled, “Building Multi-Tenant Software-As-A-Service (Saas) Applications” This will be a comprehensive review covering the hurdles I’ve crossed growing MotorsportReg.com from a one-man nights-and-weekends operation to a team that has processed more than $100,000,000 in event entry fees. The talk will cover:
- Database design and tenancy model trade-offs
- Third party services and designing for resiliency
- E-commerce strategies for cards on file, split payments, multiple currencies and marketplace-style apps
- Implications of going global including i18n, l10n, currency and domiciling
- Cross-customer security and the impact of banking and legal requirements such as PCI DSS, IRS and Know-Your-Customer (KYC)
- Code strategies for implementing customer or domain-specific functionality without a “kitchen sink” user experience problem
Developers who are interested in SaaS apps or have the entrepreneurial itch themselves will walk away with a roadmap of the issues a SaaS app must solve and strategies to achieve success. I’ll be speaking immediately after the keynote Wednesday morning, May 13, at 10:15am.
This is my second time attending dev.Objective() and I’m returning because I got a ton of value from it. I hope you’ll consider attending if you’re not already signed up as it will be a positive boost for your creativity and skills. Registration is still available for $999.

Some slides are not particularly helpful without audio or animation (wasn’t sure how to capture that in PDF) but hopefully key points and resources come across.
