Tenancy for Laravel

After running GitHub Sponsors for a few months, I got to a thousand dollars a month.

Most people are sponsoring because of exclusive content, which is available to sponsors who pay at least $15/mo.

Launched the first commercial product related to this package - the multi-tenant SaaS boilerplate.

The launch went very well, sold way more copies than I expected.

I'll continue the journey of building premium stuff related to the package and keeping the ecosystem rich.

Redesigned the website with Tailwind UI, added a separate landing page my upcoming premium product - the multi-tenant SaaS boilerplate.

Started collecting emails on the landing page for the SaaS boilerplate.

At this point, the package gained enough traction to start bringing me work.

On April 10, I did the first consulting gig related to the package, and did a few more that month & on the following months.

Not a sustainable income, but a somewhat consistent form of side income.

I was working on v2.0.0 since August (it's what I spent most of August on).

This introduced Tenant objects (rather than arrays), a more "SOLID" architecture - tenancy bootstrappers were standalone classes implementing an interface.

The package was much more extensible & had great support for storing tenants in relational databases.

The first stable version of the package was tagged.

This implementation was relatively simple. Tenants were arrays and the tenancy bootstrapping logic was sort of "hard-coded" in one class. Tenants could only be stored in Redis by default.

Still, the package was stable and could make production apps multi-tenant.

On this day, the project began.

The first commit was pushed to GitHub and I began researching how the package should work, learning about the internals of Laravel and trying things out.

After that, it was time to document this so I started writing documentation in the README.
