Hello @faruque5698

I read multiple questions and for each part will write down a short list, feel free to ask if you have more questions :)

Most parts aren't specific for a SAAS

Maintainability

  • Create and document the code structure of your application.
    • Validate your architecture with tools like Deptrac
  • Validate your code style
  • Have automated tests for your code.
  • Use static analyzers like PHPStan, PHPMD
  • Run all checks in your CI
  • Document your decisions.
  • Do not create custom options for a specific client.
  • Be consistent.

Efficient collaboration

  • Use version control and have clear commit messages.
  • Use a CI
  • Write documentation
  • Communicate a lot

Scalability

  • Put everything that doesn't need to be done directly on a queue or at least make it possible.
  • Only load the needed data. (Think about only the needed records but also only the needed fields)
  • Think about your database design, check your queries and let your database do the calculations.
  • Check your logs / use observability to monitor for potential problems.

And besides al enjoy your project :)
