Multitenancy

One app instance serving many customers

Definition

Multitenancy is a software architecture where a single instance of an application serves multiple customers (tenants), keeping their data logically isolated. It's the foundation of most SaaS — one codebase, one deployment, many customers.

📌 Example

Notion runs one platform for millions of users. Your workspace data is isolated from others, but you all share the same underlying infrastructure.
