I am planning to write a subscription based application which will allow users to do the following:

  • Subscribe/Sign-up to a plan (will select from multiple plans available)
  • Will use subscription based billing solution e.g. Recurly, Chargify.
  • Each client/user will see its own data
  • Will have a REST API
  • For now the plan is to have a shared database with multiple clients/users; but in future may need to scale to multi-tenant architecture.

I was wondering if there's already such an application available an open-source example. Any comments, reference to books is really appreciated.

Technologies I plan to use: Ruby on Rails, MySQL.

One of my primary requirement is to build a cost efficient solution. I am not sure how the Force platform can help me. Any comments on Sales Force platform would be of great help.

Thanks

The SaaS Rails Kit (not free, and authored by me, so I'm obviously biased) would be a good starting point for you.
