[00:00] [music]

[00:04] Hello everyone, welcome back to my

[00:06] channel. Today I want to demonstrate a

[00:08] scalable SAS software as a service

[00:10] platform that I have built using Laravel

[00:13] and React. So my solution uses a

[00:16] multi-tenency with multi- database

[00:18] architecture. This means every time a

[00:21] user create a new store on this

[00:24] platform, the system automatically spin

[00:26] up a completely isolated database just

[00:29] for them. So let's start. So first of

[00:32] all, I just simple uh

[00:36] register a new user and I just simple

[00:39] name this user as my name Afnan. And uh

[00:42] in the email I just simple pass here my

[00:44] email. And in the password I just simple

[00:47] pass this

[00:49] password. Okay just simple create

[00:51] account.

[00:53] And now here you can see a user account

[00:56] is created. And now on the dashboard it

[00:59] show and reflect here total store total

[01:02] categories total products. So as I told

[01:05] you earlier uh every user can create its

[01:09] own store and its own categories and its

[01:12] own product. Okay. So I just simple

[01:14] simple uh show you the database overview

[01:16] as well. And now here you can see this

[01:19] is my database that is multi-reency.

[01:20] Okay. And within this database I have a

[01:23] users table and I just simple refresh

[01:25] it. And here you can see this is the

[01:27] user that we created and in the user I

[01:30] have a role. So in the role I have a

[01:33] simple user role and admin role. So

[01:35] basically admin see all the users and

[01:37] all the store that are created and user

[01:40] just simply see its own store its own

[01:42] store categories and products. Okay. So

[01:45] this is the users table and I just

[01:46] simple open the tenants table and in the

[01:48] tenants table whenever user create a new

[01:50] store it basically give uh give this

[01:54] store a id and uh pass here the name

[01:57] slug store name here in the ID place.

[02:00] Okay. and uh in the store uh it

[02:04] automatically add the store details,

[02:06] user ID, name, description, tenant ID

[02:09] and all the things. Okay. So this is it.

[02:11] This is the basic structure. And also I

[02:13] have a domain domains table as well. And

[02:16] uh in this whenever a user create a new

[02:19] store, it automatically add uh here the

[02:22] domain name that user put and uh tenant

[02:25] ID as well here. So these are the table

[02:27] in my central database multi-tenency

[02:29] database. Okay. So now uh I just simple

[02:32] show you

[02:34] uh we just simple come here and now I

[02:36] just simple create a new store. And now

[02:39] this page is showing very look good and

[02:41] amazing. And now I on this page I just

[02:44] simple create a new store. And I just

[02:46] simple name this as pet shop. And in the

[02:48] subdomain I just simple pass this name

[02:50] here. And in the description

[02:54] I just simple pass here.

[02:57] And in the description I just simple

[02:59] pass here all things related to pets

[03:01] like this. Okay. So you can add any

[03:03] other here. So I just simple create a

[03:07] store.

[03:10] And now here you can see uh the store is

[03:14] created and it pass here the store name

[03:16] pet shop and subdomain as well and

[03:19] description as well. So I can uh just

[03:22] simple click on this manage and uh and

[03:25] now here you can see my store is created

[03:27] and now uh I just simple show you a uh a

[03:30] thing that is most important and now I

[03:32] just simple come to database and uh just

[03:34] go here in the tenants and I'll just

[03:36] simple refresh it and now here you can

[03:38] see it pass here the uh tenant name pet

[03:40] shop and in the store as well it pass

[03:43] the ID pet shop description tenant ID as

[03:46] well and domain in the domain it pass

[03:48] here petshop.lohost local host. So you

[03:50] can change here for uh we can change

[03:52] here uh the domain name as well. And now

[03:56] in the domains it auto it also add here

[03:59] the data petshop.lohost and tenet ID. So

[04:02] that's great amazing and the most

[04:05] important thing here it it create the

[04:09] separate database for this uh store. And

[04:12] now I just simple show you here uh I

[04:15] just simple uh refresh it. And now here

[04:18] I just simple search here pet shop. And

[04:20] now here you can see tenant.patshop

[04:23] and it create a separate database for

[04:25] this specific store. And within this I

[04:29] have a categories and products. Okay.

[04:32] And now I just simple

[04:36] and within this I have a categories

[04:39] table and products table. Okay. So this

[04:42] is it. This is the thing like uh each

[04:45] store has its own uh database and uh

[04:52] now let's manage this store. I will add

[04:54] a category and a product uh in it. Okay.

[04:59] So I just simple come to categories and

[05:01] now this is uh the categories page and

[05:03] I'll just simple add here a category

[05:05] like uh

[05:07] electronics.

[05:10] Okay. And now here in the description

[05:14] uh it uh related to

[05:19] electric

[05:21] products. Okay. And now I just simple

[05:23] create this category. And now here you

[05:26] can see category is created. I can add

[05:27] it and delete it. But uh before this I

[05:31] just simple come here and go to

[05:33] categories. And now here as you can see

[05:34] I don't have a categories table. when

[05:35] I'll categories data when I'll just

[05:38] simple refresh it add this category data

[05:40] that we added in this table so this is

[05:43] it this is uh this store thing that is

[05:46] standard pet shop and that's why it add

[05:49] this store categories in its own

[05:52] database okay so this is it and now I

[05:55] can also edit it as well

[05:59] I just will pass here this and just

[06:01] click on save changes and now it's

[06:02] updated as well and in the database it

[06:05] also updated. So that's it. And now I

[06:07] just go to products and in the products

[06:10] when I just simple click on add product

[06:12] and now in the categories show me this.

[06:15] So basically it is completely isolated

[06:18] and each store has its own data and now

[06:21] that's why it is showing here its own

[06:24] store categories. Okay. And now I just

[06:26] simple add here another category

[06:30] like uh

[06:33] clothing

[06:35] and uh it's about clothes okay just

[06:40] create and now go to products and uh

[06:43] here in the categories table you also

[06:45] add it and now I just simple add product

[06:48] here and uh I just pass here headphones

[06:52] and select the category and I just

[06:55] select sect this category and pass here

[06:58] all things related to electrics. Okay.

[07:03] And I can pass here this uh price as

[07:06] well and stroke as well. Just click on

[07:09] add product. And now you can see my

[07:11] product is added and it pass here this

[07:14] category as well. And in the products

[07:16] table I show you this is the product

[07:20] that is added. So that's it. That's

[07:23] amazing. Okay. So this is basically the

[07:26] multi-ancy with multi- database

[07:29] architecture that I make. Each user can

[07:32] create its own store and so now here you

[07:35] can see each store has its own

[07:36] categories, products and create uh store

[07:39] thing as well. Okay. So now uh I just

[07:43] simple show you the overview from the

[07:45] admin side as well. And now I just

[07:47] simple login with admin. H and I already

[07:50] have admin user. I just simple show you

[07:52] from here from the multi-tenency. Here

[07:55] you can see I have a admin user and its

[07:58] role is admin. And now I just simple

[08:02] login with it.

[08:09] And now here you can see admin can see

[08:12] all the store store owner its products

[08:16] and its categories. Okay. So we can do

[08:18] in it many things many things. uh as

[08:21] well like separate domains. Uh already

[08:24] we done it but we can add in it more

[08:26] feature as well like each each user has

[08:30] its own store multiple products multiple

[08:33] add toart features checkout features and

[08:35] uh payment gateways payment plan as

[08:37] well. So this is the basic concept idea

[08:40] of multi- uh multi- uh tensy with multi

[08:44] database and uh I just simple show you

[08:47] one uh more thing. And I just simple log

[08:49] out here. And now I just simple uh

[08:52] register with a new user. And I just

[08:54] simple name this as unity and pass here

[08:57] unity at the rategmail.com and password

[09:01] and

[09:02] password. Okay. And now here you can see

[09:06] this user is created. And now I just

[09:07] simple uh create a store. And here I

[09:11] just name this as Jim. gym and it's uh

[09:15] related

[09:17] to

[09:21] health products. Okay, just click on

[09:23] create store. And now here you can see

[09:25] this uh store is created successfully.

[09:27] And now from the database, I just simple

[09:29] show you this is the multi-nc database

[09:33] that is the central database. And I'll

[09:35] just simple go to tenants. And here you

[09:37] can see I have this new store as well

[09:39] that is gym. And uh I just simple

[09:42] refresh my databases. And now just

[09:46] simple search here gym. And now here you

[09:48] can see it automatically create a new

[09:49] separate database for gym as well. And

[09:53] it's have its own categories products.

[09:54] Okay. And on the admin side I just

[09:57] simple show you. I just simple reloaded.

[09:59] And now here you can see I have an other

[10:02] store that is gym and its user is uh

[10:04] different and its products and

[10:06] categories are zero because we did not

[10:08] add it yet. So this is it. This is the

[10:11] basic concept idea of multi-tenency with

[10:12] multi database. We can uh use this

[10:16] concept this multi-tensy uh with multi

[10:19] database concept in many other ways as

[10:22] well. But this is the basic video basic

[10:24] idea of how we can use this multiency

[10:27] with multi- database architecture

[10:30] uh in this uh store creation or store

[10:34] like e-commerce project. You can use

[10:36] this in many other project as well. So

[10:40] this is it. This is the basic concept

[10:41] idea and I hope you like this video and

[10:44] if you want me to

[10:46] to make complete video on this uh

[10:50] project then comment below and uh I and

[10:53] see you in the next video. Thank you for

[10:55] watching.
