Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of custom configuration of multiple backend applications, and more specifically, to a customizable SaaS configuration method for multiple backend applications. Background Technology

[0002] As businesses grow in size and increase in business complexity, they face many challenges and opportunities. Personalized functional expansion and integration enable businesses to quickly build, deploy, and maintain multiple applications.

[0003] In traditional software development and deployment models, enterprises often need to develop, configure, and deploy each application independently. This model has many problems, including duplication of work, waste of resources, and integration issues between applications. Therefore, it is essential to develop a customizable SaaS configuration method for multiple backend applications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a customizable SaaS configuration method for multiple backend applications, thereby resolving the issues raised in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for customizable SaaS configuration of multiple backend applications, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S101: Defines the basic database configuration, basic server configuration, basic security configuration, basic network configuration, basic storage configuration, and basic log configuration for different application systems;

[0007] S102: Divide the application system into multiple independent modules based on the single responsibility principle and the components of the application system, and identify the dependencies between modules by recording the call order and time relationship between modules through time sequence analysis;

[0008] S103: Classify parameters and configuration items according to their module and function, applicable environment, importance and scope of influence, security level and data type, and define parameter and configuration options;

[0009] S104: Based on the functional requirements of different applications, resource templates can be freely combined to form an overall architecture, and the behavior and style of the configuration control module can be controlled by the parameters and configuration requirements of the corresponding application functional requirements in the architecture.

[0010] S105: Establish an efficient and reliable application hosting system, including supporting multi-tenant application data isolation and resource allocation;

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, step S101 defines a basic database configuration, including database type, hostname, port, username, and password, for database deployment and management across different application systems; a basic server configuration, including operating system type, memory, CPU, and disk capacity, for server deployment and management across different application systems; and a basic security configuration, including access control, authentication, and encryption methods, for security management across different application systems. Access control authorizes access to system resources and configures access control through users, roles, and permissions. Different permissions are assigned to different users and roles based on different application systems. Authentication controls user and... Role identity is verified, and encryption methods are used to protect data through transmission security protocols and data encryption / decryption. Basic network configurations are defined, including IP address, DNS, and subnet mask, for network management of different application systems. Basic storage configurations are defined, including file system, disk size, and backup policy, for storage management of different application systems. Basic log configurations are defined, including log level, log format, and log path, for log management of different application systems. Basic email configurations are defined, including SMTP server, port, username, and password, for email sending of different application systems. Common resources and configuration templates of different application systems are transmitted to the temporary data center.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, in step S102, the common resources and configuration templates of different application systems in the temporary data center are invoked. Based on single responsibility and the components of the application system, the application system is divided into multiple independent modules, each with a single responsibility, responsible for only a single, clearly defined function and service. Basic database configuration, basic server configuration, basic security configuration, basic network configuration, basic storage configuration, and basic log configuration are separated into different modules. Time-series analysis is used to record the calling order and time relationship between modules to identify dependencies, including direct and indirect dependencies. Direct dependencies refer to a module directly calling another module to obtain its functions and services, while indirect dependencies refer to a module obtaining another module's functions and services through indirect calls from other modules. A calling interface is defined for direct dependencies to obtain the data interaction method and communication protocol, where the interaction method includes data format and data transmission method. A calling channel is defined for indirect dependencies to obtain the data calling path and communication protocol. Each module is encapsulated into an independent, deployable, and manageable unit and provided with an API interface for calling and integration by other modules.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, in S103, parameters and configuration items are categorized according to their respective modules and functions, including database connection parameters, log recording configurations, and caching strategies; categorized according to their applicable environments, including development environments, testing environments, and production environments; categorized according to their importance and scope of influence, including required parameters, optional parameters, global configuration items, and local configuration items; categorized according to their security levels, including sensitive configuration items and non-sensitive configuration items; categorized according to their data types, including string types, integer types, boolean types, and date / time types; and categorized according to a naming convention, where each name variable in the parameters and configurations is marked with an asterisk in the upper right corner to separate name variables and improve readability.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, in S104, resource templates are freely combined to form an overall architecture based on the functional requirements of different applications, including user interface, data processing logic, and service interfaces. The architecture utilizes parameters corresponding to the functional requirements of the applications and the behavior and style in the configuration control module. Resource templates are selected as the basis based on customer needs, including corporate logos, characteristics, and brand image. The resource templates that modify interface styles, replace icons, and adjust layouts are customized. The customization utilizes plug-in architecture to dynamically add and delete functional templates, adds new API interfaces through RESTful API, and improves scalability by utilizing the basic storage configuration defined in S101.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, in S105, an efficient and reliable application hosting system is established, including support for multi-tenant application data isolation and resource allocation. The data isolation calls the basic storage configuration of different application systems defined in S101 to store the data of different tenants separately, so that each tenant can only access its own data in its corresponding application system. The resource allocation includes computing resources, storage resources, and network bandwidth resources, which isolate the data and applications of different tenants from each other to prevent the security problems of a single tenant from affecting other tenants. The application hosting system provides combined management functions for administrators to create, edit, and delete tenant information, and manage the access permissions and resource allocation of each tenant.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: users can customize and configure multiple application environments according to their own needs to meet the personalized needs of different business scenarios; through a unified platform and modular configuration design, repetitive work and resource waste are reduced, application development and deployment efficiency is improved; new application modules can be added and integrated at any time, enabling enterprises to flexibly expand according to business development needs; a unified management interface and tools are provided to facilitate enterprises to monitor, manage and maintain deployed applications; a stable application hosting platform is established to provide users with a reliable application service environment and ensure the stable operation of business.
