Hello Folks, Today we will see “A Guide to Creating a Multi-Tenant Application in Django”.

Creating a multi-tenant application in DJango can significantly enhance your ability to serve multiple clients from a single instance of your application. This guide will walk you through the process, providing real-world examples and syntax to help you get started.

What is Multi-Tenantcy?

Multi-tenant software architectures involve a single application instance serving multiple customers (tenants). Each tenant’s data is isolated, ensuring privacy and security. This approach is particularly beneficial for SaaS(Software as a Service).

Types of Multi-Tenancy:

1. Database-per-tenant: Each tenant has its databases.
2. Schema-per-tenant: All tenants share the same database but have separate schemas.
3. Shared database, Shared schema: All tenants share the same database and schema, with rows separated by a tenant identifier.

For this guide, we’ll focus on the shred database, and shred-schema approach, commonly used and supported by Django.
