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.
