Let’s talk about: The role of tenants in software development
About 298 wordsLess than 1 minuteDecember 3, 2024
In software development, a "tenant" typically refers to an independent client or user group using a particular software application, especially in a multi-tenant architecture. Multi-tenant architecture is a software architecture where a single instance of the software serves multiple tenants, with each tenant's data and configurations being isolated from one another. Each tenant can be a company, an organization, or an independent user group.
The benefits of this architecture include:
- Resource Sharing: Multiple tenants share the same software instance, reducing maintenance and operational costs.
- Data Isolation: Although tenants share the software instance, each tenant's data and settings are isolated, ensuring data security and privacy.
- Scalability: Multi-tenant systems can be easily scaled to add new tenants without affecting existing tenants.
