neatComponents is a multi-tenanted platform for the construction of apps and websites.

This section of the guide outlines the tools used for managing the neatComponents Platform at the server level.

A single instance of neatComponents can serve multiple independent customers, (or within a corporate or institutional setting, departments or divisions) known as "tenants", while keeping their data completely isolated, secure, and invisible to one another.

This means that neatComponents can be used as a  SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) and cloud computing providing software that shares hardware across many independent users to reduce costs, improve maintenance efficiency, and ease updates. Each of those users of the neatComponents platform has the full clearString no-code app and website building toolkit provided.

The neatComponents Platform complete with its PostgreSQL object-relational database system installs automatically onto Windows, and then performs all the necessary database management operations for you.

Here we outline the tools provided for managing your tenants, and in commercial settings how to provide subscriptions, control usage and manage payments.

What is, and isn’t, in this section

This section isn’t a guide to using the clearString technology itself: for more information on that see the other sections in this website. However this guide will go into detail where the system has features specifically designed for SaaS and Value Added Resellers: to facilitate monetization and deployment of services.
