Beyond ECS or Cloud Run + Terraform: Building Scalable SaaS Infrastructure
Many B2B startups start their cloud journey with AWS ECS or GCP Cloud Run. It's understandable—they're familiar, quick to set up, and tightly integrated with the hyperscalers' ecosystems. Throw in some Terraform, and you have a hello-world deployment workflow that seems "good enough" to get your SaaS up and running.
But "good enough" quickly breaks down as you scale.
⚠️ The Hidden Pain That Emerges
As your B2B SaaS gains traction, cracks begin to show:
- No self-serve deployments with integrated billing
- No support for tenant-aware deployments or infra management
- No support for BYOC (deploying in your customers' account) or OnPrem environments
- No support for multi-cloud environments
- Manual Terraform pipelines with brittle logic, poor rollback support, and little governance
- Lack of Day-2 automation: No out-of-the-box support for patching, upgrades, or lifecycle management
- No versioning to track changes and make upgrades manageable
You end up stitching together scripts, dashboards, and internal tools—burning engineering cycles on non-differentiated infrastructure work.
