A multi-tenant system is a type of software architecture designed to allow multiple customers or “tenants” to share access to the same resources on demand. It allows different tenants within an organization to use the same application without any interference from, or interaction with, other tenants – thus providing each tenant with their own distinct and secure environment. By using a single installation of one codebase for all tenants, it eliminates the need for separate deployments, resulting in cost savings. Multi-tenancy also increases scalability and makes upgrades smoother since individual customer needs can be addressed quickly by making changes to the single code base.
