Multi-Tenant Architecture
Multi-tenant architecture is a software design where multiple separate customers, or tenants, share the same underlying system while their data remains strictly isolated from one another.
Example
Two unrelated companies using the same software platform, each seeing only their own data, enforced at the database level, not just the interface.
Why it matters
It is the architectural pattern that makes most modern SaaS products economically viable, and its isolation guarantees are a direct trust and security consideration for any business evaluating such software.
Limits and cautions
Multi-tenancy does not mean data is commingled or less secure. Well-implemented multi-tenant systems enforce isolation more rigorously than many single-tenant setups, through database-level controls.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah workspaces are isolated at the database level using row-level security scoped by workspace.
