Cloud-native, modular, and cost-controlled by design.
ScaleVane is being engineered as a multi-tenant SaaS platform with provider-flexible AI, reliable background processing, controlled media workloads, and measurable unit economics.
Next.js, TypeScript, responsive dashboard, onboarding, workspaces, approvals, and subscription controls.
Secure APIs, tenant isolation, usage metering, background queues, integrations, and audit logs.
Gemini/Vertex AI primary path, optional specialist models, provider abstraction, prompt and cost logging.
Infrastructure choices tied to product requirements.
Credits will be used only where the workload requires them, not to create unnecessary cloud complexity.
Web application
Next.js and TypeScript for the SaaS dashboard, with an independently deployable static marketing website.
Data and tenancy
PostgreSQL, workspace-scoped access controls, encrypted connections, backups, and tenant isolation policies.
AI provider layer
A provider abstraction prevents permanent dependence on one model and allows quality-cost routing by task.
Workflow orchestration
n8n for early orchestration, moving high-volume critical paths into dedicated workers when justified.
Background processing
Job queues for publishing, analytics ingestion, notifications, retry handling, and long-running generation.
Media processing
FFmpeg workers and object storage for practical media transformation, with strict limits and lifecycle policies.
Observability
Structured logs, error monitoring, audit trails, model usage records, and cloud-cost alerts.
Security controls
Least privilege, secrets management, secure OAuth, account revocation, and human publishing approval.
Commercial controls
Per-plan usage limits, budget caps, provider fallback rules, and margin monitoring before scale.
Clear use cases for startup-credit programmes.
The following workloads map directly to the product roadmap and expected customer activity.
| Workload | Purpose | Expected phase |
