In the ever-evolving landscape of SaaS, effective data management remains a cornerstone of success. As we close out August, here's a quick update on what's new in the world of Data for SaaS.
The Data for SaaS Patterns GitHub repository is a new resource for SaaS developers and architects. This collection of samples, best practices, and reference architectures helps you implement SaaS databases and data services in your SaaS applications.
The AWS Data for SaaS repository serves as a one-stop-shop for SaaS developers looking to optimize their data architectures. It encompasses a range of resources, including reference architectures, code samples, blogs, and videos. This is designed to guide developers through the intricacies of building scalable, secure, and efficient data solutions for SaaS applications on AWS.
Here's a sneak peak at what's inside:
With the rising popularity of generative AI applications, vector databases have become increasingly important. This sample provides guidance on using the pgvector extension for PostgreSQL in Amazon Aurora, offering two implementation examples:
1. A self-managed Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) implementation
2. An AWS-managed solution using Amazon Bedrock knowledge bases
For SaaS applications with varying usage patterns, this sample includes a CDK application that creates a scheduled job to scale Aurora Serverless V2 instance capacity. This helps reduce scaling times during peak periods, enhancing performance and utilization.
Global SaaS applications require robust, distributed database solutions. This example provides a CDK application for creating an Amazon Aurora Global database cluster across primary and secondary regions, complete with a Fargate container application for testing it out.

PrivateLink is a great choice for SaaS vendors looking for a secure way to distribute their applications. In this post, Druva discuss PrivateLink to provide a secure, private connection to their customers AWS environments for data transfer and backup.
Many SaaS providers use Kafka as the core of their architecture for integrating data between their microservices. This blog post explores important SaaS concepts for data streaming, such as data partitioning, performance fairness and tenant isolation.
As a SaaS vendor embedding dashboard in your application, you can now allow your users to share their view and the current state of a dashboard with another user.
Finally, if you're in the UK, be sure to register for the GenAI and Data day on October 15th! See you there!
