**SaaS & Cloud Applications**

# SaaS Infrastructure

Ship multi-tenant products on Kubernetes that scales with tenants, not with your ops headcount.

SaaS companies and ISVs run multi-tenant applications on enum's European public cloud: Managed Kubernetes with an isolated control plane per cluster, S3-compatible object storage, and VPC networking in Frankfurt. Enterprise buyers get GDPR-aligned data residency and predictable euro pricing.


### What SaaS teams hit

- Tenant isolation without a maze of custom control planes
- Traffic that spikes when a big customer goes live
- Enterprise buyers asking where data lives and who can compel access
- Cloud bills that grow faster than revenue

### What you run on enum

- Isolated Kubernetes control plane per cluster, included
- Horizontal and vertical auto-scaling for workloads
- Frankfurt region with GDPR-aligned data residency
- Transparent per-resource pricing in euros, no surprise egress games

### What changes

- Production-ready clusters from day one, without running etcd yourself
- A clear answer for EU data residency in security questionnaires
- Costs you can model as you add tenants, not after the invoice lands

### How SaaS teams ship on enum

From first cluster to paying tenants.

- **Stand up a cluster**: Create a production Kubernetes cluster with enumctl, the API, or Terraform. Control plane HA is included.
- **Isolate tenants your way**: Use namespaces, network policies, and separate clusters where contracts demand it. You keep the isolation model.
- **Store and connect**: Put artifacts and backups in S3-compatible object storage. Wire services through VPC networking and load balancers.

### Platform pieces that matter

The same products your team already knows how to operate.

- **enum Kubernetes Engine**: Upstream Kubernetes with an isolated control plane per cluster. Built for multi-tenant product workloads.
- **Object Storage**: S3-compatible storage for backups, exports, and customer artifacts. Data stays in Frankfurt.
- **VPC & Networking**: Private clusters by default, L4 load balancing, and host-based NAT without per-zone surprises.

### FAQ


**Can we run multi-tenant SaaS on a shared cluster?**
Yes. Most teams start with namespace and network-policy isolation on one cluster. When a customer contract requires stronger separation, spin up another cluster. Each cluster gets its own isolated control plane.

**Where does customer data live?**
In Frankfurt, Germany, on enum's European public cloud. Workloads, object storage, and networking stay under German and EU jurisdiction with no US hyperscaler dependency.

**How do we provision clusters?**
Self-service via enumctl, the REST API, or Terraform. You do not wait on a ticket to create or resize a cluster.

**Is pricing usable for SaaS unit economics?**
Pricing is per resource in euros, published on the site. There is no control-plane surcharge and no CLOUD Act-shaped transfer risk baked into the bill.
