SaaS Development
Services

SaaS development services cover the full lifecycle of building a cloud-based product: discovery and requirements, architecture design, frontend and backend development, multi-tenant infrastructure setup, third-party integrations, QA, security testing, deployment, and post-launch support. The scope depends on where you are starting – a greenfield MVP has different deliverables than a migration from a legacy system. Estimate your project → gives a starting point for scoping. SaaS software development at Dotcode always includes code and IP ownership transfer on day one.

SaaS development services pricing depends on product complexity, number of integrations, compliance requirements, and whether you need mobile alongside web. A focused MVP with a defined scope runs in the $30k–$80k range. A multi-tenant enterprise platform with compliance documentation runs significantly higher. The most reliable way to get a number is a scoping conversation, not a quote from a webpage. Use the estimator to describe your requirements and we will come back with a realistic range. SaaS app development cost surprises almost always come from undocumented scope, not from the development work itself.

SaaS product development from discovery to a working MVP takes 6–10 weeks for a focused scope with defined requirements. A full-featured platform with multiple integrations, mobile clients, and compliance documentation runs 3–6 months. Timeline is driven more by integration complexity and compliance review cycles than by the development work itself. Custom SaaS development that skips the discovery phase and goes straight to building almost always takes longer than the estimate – the discovery cost is recovered in avoided rework.

Yes. Multi-tenancy is a core part of how we build. As a SaaS development company, we design tenant isolation at the schema or database level depending on your compliance requirements and customer data volume. Automated tenant onboarding, usage-based billing infrastructure, and per-tenant configuration are standard scope in most SaaS software development company engagements at Dotcode. If your product needs to white-label per customer, that is a separate architectural layer we have built before.

SaaS development services at Dotcode use React, Node.js, Python, and Golang on the backend, deployed on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure with Kubernetes for orchestration. Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ for event streaming. Datadog and Prometheus for monitoring. The stack is not a default template – it is selected during the architecture phase against your product requirements. SaaS app development with the wrong stack for the use case creates performance and maintainability problems that show up six months after launch.

SaaS software development that is not designed for scale from the start creates technical debt that is expensive to address under load. Auto-scaling infrastructure, connection pooling, and caching are architecture decisions, not features you add later. On security: end-to-end encryption, MFA, and role-based access control are part of the data model. SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance paths are scoped during discovery. Custom SaaS development that treats security as a pre-launch checklist rather than an architecture decision reliably produces incidents.

SaaS product development for migration involves moving an existing application to cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture without disrupting the current product. We use the strangler fig pattern: new functionality routes to the new architecture while legacy functionality migrates incrementally. The existing product keeps running throughout. Timeline depends on the size of the existing codebase and how tightly coupled the data model is. SaaS development company engagements for migration always start with a discovery phase that maps the current system and produces a phased migration plan before any code changes.
