UML class diagram illustrating Tenant, TenantContext, TenantUser, and IsolationStrategy interface with Schema and Database implementations.

What it shows

  • A Tenant entity serves as the root context for all downstream business data.
  • Isolation Strategy interface allows switching between pooled and siloed stores.
  • TenantContext enforces tenant isolation dynamically during each request.

The takeaway

Enforce tenancy as a foundational infrastructural layer, never as an optional filter on ad-hoc queries.
