Large Scale App Architecture From MVP to Million Users mixes Fortune 500 requirements (SSO, MDM, SOC 2, audit logs) with founders building "big apps" too early. Enterprise pilots ship one department workflow with SAML/OIDC — not a 40-integration platform on day one.
Pilot-First Enterprise Path
50–500 users, one workflow, SSO, RLS, export/audit. Expand after security review — not before.
- Pilot: $25k–$75k typical
- Full enterprise platform: $150k–$500k+
- $3,460 package = startup MVP, not enterprise rollout
Non-Negotiables for Enterprise Buyers
SSO (Okta/Azure AD), encryption, audit logs, data residency options, pen-test readiness. Each adds 1–3 weeks.
- SAML/OIDC integration
- Role-based access with audit trail
- SOC 2 path planned from architecture
Scaling After MVP
Monolith to 50k MAU with indexes + PgBouncer. Then read replicas, queues, CDN — not microservices on day one.
