Trying to imagine 5,000 multi tenants.

I try do this on every object rule where possible, it guarantees efficiency

Two areas that I spent a lot of time on optimizations were:
a) [Almost] Every rule is wrapped with conditions to make sure it only executes when absolutely necessary.
b) I moved lots of "Rules" to on-demand processes, when user needs it or scheduler runs it. This made the system much faster.

These two made a huge difference in my app. Making LoggedInUser as "thin" as possible was another big improvement.
All these extra executions will cost you a lot of money on Cloud system like AWS.

One of my concerns is that if I sold individual licenses...AwareIm charges $495 per sale. If we repeated what we did before that would be 3 million bucks for the first year going to AwareIm. That ain't gonna happen. See, my problem is that MOST of our companies are single user companies.

Hence my previous comment Numberz....

My view is that a case can be made to employ a mixture of both.....for example....

Small Tenants who are only ever likely to have a few users..... add them to SBS
Large Tenants who are likely to have many many concurrent users ...... deploy with their own BS (MBS) Model.... and depending on size... maybe even their own server instance.

eagles9999,
95% of our sales was one to two users per company...which brings me back to the reality of $495x90%

As Mark is saying, for those "95%", you can put them in a single SBS which all can be covered under one license.

Ohhh, I get it, lol. My apologies.
That would make sense 🙂
Thank you.

FYI, Since we are talking numbers (or is it numberz 🙂 ), I believe [please check with support] each "Internet Unlimited User" license fee for the first year is $1,099 and then the following years is 50% off.
So, for first year it's not $495 but rather $1,099 for each subsequent license per company if you go with MBS and $549.5 for each subsequent year renewal.

Ben,
Where are you getting these numbers from? I couldn't find reference to them. I do see some confusing links about pricing though.

Yes it is $495, a runtime will suffice if the server is in the cloud somewhere.

Also you don't have to necessarily upgrade each year. The only time you would consider upgrading a runtime with a new version is if there is a new feature you want to implement in your runtime sites, otherwise, a runtime can continue to receive BSV updates forever without upgrading. It just won't take on the new dev version features.

I would be keen to know what kind of price you charge for this app ?.

As it's been already suggested, going for the multi tenant server is the way to go. If you really get into trouble with scaling then at some threshold just set up another server and carry on doing this. At least you will have revenue flowing and quicker to the market with a rock solid trouble free application .

I was given those numbers at one point when I was talking to support. And that's why I said check with support. Yes, the runtime fees are confusing, but mostly relate to "Intranet" with # of users. But I can't find license fees that are for "Internet" & unlimited # of users per server. The $1,099 was given to me via email a while back. We need clear pricing for "internet unlimited users" pricing as well.
