What is Multi-tenancy?
It is the ability of a single software to provide independent services to many different users or companies at the same time.
Overview
Think of an apartment building; Everyone uses the same building, but everyone has their own apartment. In the software world, multi-tenancy means that different customers who share the same server and the same program work in their own areas without seeing each other's data.
How it works
The software assigns each user a unique 'tag' in the database. The system matches a request from a user only with data with that tag, so there is no confusion.
Where it is used
It is used in SaaS (software as a service) platforms, cloud-based applications and enterprise management software.
Commonly confused with
It can be confused with a shared server; However, what is shared here is not just the hardware, but the logical structure of the software.
Frequently asked questions
Why use a single program?
Because installing a separate program for each user is very costly and difficult to manage; It is much easier to update from a single center.
