How Odoo SaaS Provider Scales Beyond 40 Tenants Without Downtime or Slowdowns
Overview

Our client, a rapidly growing SaaS provider delivering ERP-as-a-Service built on Odoo, serves businesses across industries like Retail, Manufacturing, Trading, and Professional Services. Their platform offers instant access to ready-to-use ERP modules, including Sales, CRM, Inventory, Accounting, HR, and more.

 

As their customer base expanded, they began facing major challenges with the Odoo SaaS Toolkit—particularly in environment creation, scaling, and maintaining consistent performance across tenants. To overcome these hurdles and ensure seamless growth, they approached Ksolves for a reliable, scalable solution.

Key Challenges

The client encountered several serious limitations and inefficiencies with the Odoo SaaS Toolkit, resulting in operational friction and slowed business growth. The key challenges included:

  • No Auto-Scaling — Performance Collapsed After 40–50 Tenants: The Odoo SaaS Toolkit relied on fixed, manually allocated server resources, which worked fine in the early stages but completely collapsed once the platform began to grow. Because there was no auto-scaling, the system could not increase CPU, RAM, or storage based on real-time workload spikes.
  • Slow, Manual, and Delayed Deployments: The client struggled with slow, manual deployments where even minor updates required hours. Engineers updated tenants individually, leading to delays, frequent failures, inconsistent configurations, and major disruptions—especially for fast-paced industries like eCommerce and Retail.
  • Updates Caused Downtime: Any new feature, fix, or module rollout requires planned downtime, impacting industries needing 24/7 availability, such as logistics and healthcare. This downtime disrupted critical business operations, delayed transactions, and affected real-time reporting. Frequent maintenance windows also frustrated tenants and negatively impacted customer trust and satisfaction.
  • No Safe Testing Environment: The client struggled because they lacked reliable staging environments. Their teams had to either skip testing or manually clone tenant setups, both of which were time-consuming and inconsistent. This led to frequent deployment errors in production and slowed development, as engineers spent extra time troubleshooting issues that could have been prevented.
  • Heavy DevOps Dependency: They relied heavily on their DevOps team for scaling, backups, maintenance, resource allocation, and deployments. This dependency slowed operations, increased engineering costs, and created bottlenecks. Delays occurred whenever key personnel were unavailable, and the team had little time left for innovation or feature development.
  • Limited Observability & Monitoring: There was no unified view of tenant-level performance, backup status, or deployment failures. Issues were detected only after customers complained. This reactive approach delayed issue resolution and prevented proactive optimization, leaving teams without insights into system load, usage trends, or risks, increasing operational uncertainty.
  • High Risk When Supporting Multiple Odoo Versions: The client struggled because their platform did not fully support all Odoo versions. Managing different versions led to configuration mismatches, deployment failures, long upgrade cycles, module conflicts, and slower delivery of new features.
