Multi-Tenancy

Q: What is multi-tenant architecture?

Multi-tenant architecture is a software design where a single application instance serves multiple customers (tenants) simultaneously. Each tenant's data is logically isolated using database schemas, row-level security, or separate databases, while sharing the same compute and application infrastructure for cost efficiency.

Q: Can multi-tenancy satisfy data residency requirements?

Yes, if your architecture supports region-specific deployments. Data can be stored in the required region while sharing the application tier. However, some contracts require dedicated single-tenant deployments for maximum isolation.

Q: What is the difference between multi-tenant and single-tenant?

Multi-tenant shares one application instance across many customers with logical data separation. Single-tenant gives each customer their own dedicated infrastructure. Enterprise contracts may require single-tenancy for maximum data isolation and security.
