Overview
Gorm-multitenancy provides a Go framework for building multi-tenant applications, streamlining
tenant management and model migrations. It abstracts multitenancy complexities through a unified,
database-agnostic API compatible with GORM.
Multitenancy Approaches
There are three common approaches to multitenancy in a database:
- Shared database, shared schema
- Shared database, separate schemas
- Separate databases
Depending on the database in use, this package utilizes either the "shared database, separate schemas" or "separate databases" strategy, ensuring a smooth integration with your existing database configuration through the provision of tailored drivers.
Features
- GORM Integration: Simplifies GORM usage in multi-tenant environments, offering a unified API alongside direct access to driver-specific APIs for flexibility.
- Custom Database Drivers: Enhances existing drivers for easy multitenancy setup without altering initialization.
- HTTP Middleware: Provides middleware for easy tenant context management in web applications.
Supported Databases
