# A to Z development plan 

To get AIISTECH repo from where it is to a full featured PaaS for Professional automated services where clients can make custom dashboards, websites, landing pages, create and connect domains, connect to third-party accounts, to do and see everything needed for business in one place.

Based on a deep read of your [AIISTECH repo](https://github.com/MultiplicityFoundation/AIISTECH), here is a complete A-to-Z development roadmap to evolve it from its current state (React/TS frontend + mock Express backend, ~75/100 dev score, ~55/100 production score) into a full-featured PaaS for professional automated services.

***

## Current State Snapshot

The repo currently has a React + TypeScript frontend (Vite, Tailwind, shadcn/ui), a mock Express backend with JWT auth, role-based dashboards for 4 user types (Executive, Finance, Operations, IT), and comprehensive documentation — but **no production backend, no real database, no domain management, no third-party integrations, and no builder tooling** . The production readiness score sits at 55/100 with the mock backend being the most critical blocker .

***

## Phase A–C: Foundation \& Production Hardening

These phases must be completed before any PaaS features are layered on — they harden what already exists.

- **A — Real Backend**: Replace the mock Express server with a production Node.js/Fastify or NestJS API. Migrate to PostgreSQL (via Supabase or AWS RDS) with Prisma ORM. This is currently the \#1 critical blocker
- **B — Auth Hardening**: Move JWT tokens from `localStorage` to `httpOnly` cookies, add password hashing (bcrypt/argon2), implement OAuth2 (Google, GitHub), and add rate limiting/CSRF protection
- **C — CI/CD \& Hosting**: Deploy frontend to Vercel/Cloudflare Pages, backend to Railway/Fly.io/AWS ECS, enable HTTPS with auto-SSL, set up GitHub Actions for lint → test → build → deploy pipeline

***

## Phase D–F: Multi-Tenant Architecture

The existing single-tenant role system must be refactored into a true multi-tenant PaaS model.

- **D — Tenant \& Org Model**: Add a `tenants` table with organization-level isolation. Each client gets their own workspace with subdomain routing (`clientname.aiistech.com`). Implement row-level security in PostgreSQL
- **E — Billing \& Subscriptions**: Integrate Stripe for subscription tiers (Starter, Pro, Enterprise). Build a billing dashboard — the repo already has `page-pricing.php` and a billing route scaffolded
- **F — RBAC v2**: Extend the existing 4-role system to fully configurable per-tenant roles and permissions (admin, editor, viewer, custom). The repo has Phase 3 RBAC hardening already started

***

## Phase G–I: Dashboard \& Page Builder

This is the core differentiator — letting clients build their own dashboards and pages without code.

- **G — Drag-and-Drop Dashboard Builder**: Build a widget-based dashboard composer using `react-grid-layout` or `dnd-kit`. Clients select KPI cards, charts, tables, and embed feeds. Persist layouts per user in the database
- **H — Website \& Landing Page Builder**: Integrate a visual page builder (GrapesJS or a custom block-based editor). Store page schemas as JSON in the DB. Allow clients to preview, publish, and version-control their pages
- **I — Component Library Expansion**: The existing `components/` directory and `components.json` (shadcn registry)  becomes the foundation for a client-facing UI kit — extend it with business-specific blocks (hero sections, pricing tables, testimonial sliders, contact forms)

***

## Phase J–L: Domain Management

- **J — Domain Registration \& DNS**: Integrate Cloudflare API or Namecheap API to let clients search, purchase, and manage domains directly from the platform. Store domain records in the DB linked to tenant
- **K — Custom Domain Mapping**: Allow clients to point their own existing domains to platform-hosted sites. Automate TLS cert provisioning via Let's Encrypt / Cloudflare Workers
- **L — Subdomain Routing Engine**: Build dynamic subdomain resolution at the edge (Cloudflare Workers or Next.js middleware) so `client.aiistech.com` routes to that tenant's published site

***

## Phase M–O: Third-Party Integrations Hub

- **M — OAuth Account Connections**: Build an "Integrations" settings panel (the `settings` route is already scaffolded ). Let clients connect Google Workspace, Meta Business, Stripe, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, etc. via OAuth2 token storage
- **N — Webhook \& Automation Engine**: Build a trigger-action automation system (similar to Zapier's model). Use Bull/BullMQ with Redis for async job queues. The `automations` and `processes` dashboard routes are already wired to live APIs
- **O — API Gateway / Client API Keys**: Let power clients connect their own apps to AIISTECH via REST API keys. Build an API key management UI and rate-limited gateway layer

***

## Phase P–R: AI-Powered Services

Google AI integration documentation is already present in the repo, giving a head start here .

- **P — AI Content Generation**: Surface Gemini/GPT integrations into the page builder and dashboard for AI-assisted copywriting, image generation, and data summarization. The `GOOGLE_AI_INTEGRATION.md` doc already outlines the Gemini Studio setup
- **Q — Automated Reporting**: Build a scheduled report engine — clients configure report templates (metrics + time range + recipients) and the system auto-generates and emails PDF/HTML reports
- **R — AI Business Assistant**: Add a persistent AI chat sidebar to the dashboard where clients can query their own business data ("What were my top 5 leads this week?" or "Summarize my sales pipeline")

***

## Phase S–U: Business Operations Modules

- **S — CRM Module**: Build a lightweight client/contact management system with pipeline views. Connect to third-party CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce) via the integrations hub from Phase M
- **T — Project \& Task Management**: Expand the existing dashboard into a full project board with tasks, assignees, due dates, and status columns. Clients manage their business operations without leaving the platform
- **U — File \& Asset Manager**: Build a media library with S3/R2 storage backend. Clients upload images, documents, and brand assets that are reusable across their page builder and dashboards

***

## Phase V–X: Observability, Testing \& Scale

- **V — Monitoring \& Alerting**: Add Sentry for error tracking, Datadog or Grafana for performance monitoring, and uptime checks. This is currently listed as a production blocker in the project status
- **W — Automated Test Suite**: Playwright config already exists in the repo  — expand it into a full E2E suite. Add Vitest for unit tests and MSW for API mocking. Target >80% coverage on core auth and billing flows
- **X — Horizontal Scaling**: Containerize with Docker, deploy backend via Kubernetes or Railway autoscaling, add Redis caching for dashboard data, and implement CDN asset delivery for builder-published sites

***

## Phase Y–Z: Launch \& Growth Layer

- **Y — White-Label \& Agency Mode**: Allow agencies to resell AIISTECH under their own brand. Add logo/color theming per tenant, custom login screens, and the ability for agencies to manage sub-clients under their account
- **Z — Marketplace \& Templates**: Build a template marketplace where clients can install pre-built dashboard layouts, landing page designs, and automation workflows in one click. This creates a network effect and recurring engagement loop

## Recommended Tech Stack Additions

| Layer | Current | Add |
| :-- | :-- | :-- |
| Backend | Mock Express | NestJS + PostgreSQL + Prisma |
| Auth | Mock JWT | Auth0 / Supabase Auth + httpOnly cookies |
| Jobs | None | BullMQ + Redis |
| Storage | None | AWS S3 / Cloudflare R2 |
| DNS/Domains | None | Cloudflare API |
| AI | Gemini (doc only) | Gemini Pro + function calling |
| Monitoring | None | Sentry + Grafana |
| Payments | None | Stripe Billing |
| Page Builder | None | GrapesJS / custom JSON schema |

The most impactful first move is replacing the mock backend with a real production API + database, as every other phase depends on it . From there, the multi-tenant model unlocks the entire PaaS layer above it.
