Multi-tenancy is the soul of SaaS, but it comes with significant architectural challenges. How do you ensure that one "noisy neighbor" doesn't bring down the system for everyone else? How do you maintain strict data isolation?
We focus on three primary patterns: Database-per-tenant, Schema-per-tenant, and Shared-database. Each has its trade-offs in terms of cost and complexity. In 2026, the trend is moving towards high-performance row-level security and automated tenant provisioning.
Scalability isn't just about handling more traffic; it's about managing growth without increasing operational friction.
