🚀 Phase 2: Core Development (Week 3-4)

2.1 Multitenancy Implementation

Database Layer

  1. **Create Database Service**:

async getCurrentTenant() {

return await this.client.query('SELECT * FROM get_current_tenant()');

}

}

```

  1. **Implement Tenant Middleware**:

if (!tenant) {

return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Tenant not found' });

}

req.tenant = tenant;

await database.setTenantContext(tenant.id);

next();

}

```

Storage Service

  1. **S3 Storage Manager**:

await this.updateStorageUsage(tenantId, file.length, 'upload');

return key;

}

private async updateStorageUsage(tenantId: string, bytes: number, type: string) {

await database.query('SELECT update_storage_usage($1, $2, $3)',

[tenantId, bytes, type]);

}

}

```

2.2 Authentication System

User Registration Flow

// src/services/auth.ts
export class AuthService {
  async signUp(email: string, password: string, tenantId?: string) {
    // If no tenantId, this is a new tenant creation
    if (!tenantId) {
      tenantId = await this.createNewTenant(email);
    }
    
    // Create user under tenant
    const user = await this.createUser({
      email,
      password: await bcrypt.hash(password, 10),
      tenantId
    });
    
    return { user, tenantId };
  }
}

Multi-Tenant Sessions

// src/middleware/session.ts
export function sessionMiddleware(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
  // Store tenant context in session
  req.session.tenantId = req.tenant.id;
  req.session.userId = req.user.id;
  
  // Set tenant-specific cookie
  res.cookie('tenant_context', `${req.tenant.subdomain}:${req.user.id}`, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
  });
  
  next();
}

2.3 Subscription Management

Billing Service

// src/services/billing.ts
export class BillingService {
  async createSubscription(tenantId: string, priceId: string) {
    const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
      email: await this.getTenantEmail(tenantId),
      metadata: { tenantId }
    });
    
    const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customer.id,
      items: [{ price: priceId }],
      payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
      expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent']
    });
    
    await this.updateTenantPlan(tenantId, subscription);
    return subscription;
  }
  
  async handleWebhook(event: Stripe.Event) {
    switch (event.type) {
      case 'customer.subscription.created':
        await this.subscriptionCreated(event.data.object);
        break;
      case 'invoice.payment_succeeded':
        await this.paymentSucceeded(event.data.object);
        break;
      case 'customer.subscription.deleted':
        await this.subscriptionCancelled(event.data.object);
        break;
    }
  }
}

🎨 Phase 3: User Interface Development (Week 5-6)

3.1 Admin Dashboard

        <TableHeader>
          <TableRow>
            <TableHead>Name</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Plan</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Storage Used</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Status</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Actions</TableHead>
          </TableRow>
        </TableHeader>
        <TableBody>
          {tenants.map((tenant) => (
            <TenantRow key={tenant.id} tenant={tenant} />
          ))}
        </TableBody>
      </Table>
    </div>
  );
}

Usage Analytics Dashboard

// components/admin/Analytics.tsx
export function AnalyticsDashboard() {
  const { data: revenue } = useQuery(['revenue'], fetchRevenueMetrics);

    { name: 'Enterprise', price: 99, storage: 1000, features: ['Everything', 'Unlimited'] }
  ];
  
  return (
    <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-8">
      {plans.map((plan) => (
        <PlanCard key={plan.name} plan={plan} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

Storage Usage Display

// components/subscription/StorageUsage.tsx
export function StorageUsage() {
  const { data: usage } = useQuery(['storage-usage'], fetchStorageUsage);
  const percentage = (usage?.used / usage?.limit) * 100;
  
  return (
    <Card>
      <CardHeader>
        <CardTitle>Storage Usage</CardTitle>
      </CardHeader>
      <CardContent>
        <Progress value={percentage} className="w-full" />
        <p className="text-sm text-gray-600 mt-2">
          {usage?.used}MB of {usage?.limit}MB used
        </p>
      </CardContent>
    </Card>
  );
}
