Introducing Multitenancy to Flatlogic Applications

We’re excited to introduce Multitenancy support to Flatlogic Applications! The ability to host multiple clients/organizations/clients within a single application instance, each with guaranteed privacy and security, is a major milestone with this enhancement. 

A tenant, in the context of software applications, refers to a group of users who share common access with specific privileges to the software instance. It is like an apartment in a building, the building is the software, and each apartment is a tenant space that houses its own residents (users). In a multitenancy architecture, multiple tenants (like multiple apartments) are housed in the same application (building), but each tenant’s data and configuration are isolated and invisible to other tenants.

For example, if you’re providing a SaaS (Software as a Service) application for project management, each company subscribing to your service would be a separate tenant (organization) within your application. Each company (tenant) would have its own projects, employees (users), and data stored within the application, and they wouldn’t be able to see or access each other’s information, even though they’re using the same software instance.

Highlights of the update include:

• Multi-tenancy support: a key feature that allows you as a Super Admin of the software to manage multiple tenants (organizations) within a single application instance. Super Admins can share global access, i.e. they can have an Assistant, but the organization’s Admin also holds all rights within a particular tenant (organization). This capability enables you to serve multiple customers or user groups (tenants/organizations) from a single application deployment, while still providing each tenant with a secure, isolated environment. As a super admin, you can efficiently allocate resources, configure tenant-specific settings, monitor usage and performance across all tenants, and implement updates or changes globally or per tenant. This approach significantly reduces operational costs and complexity, enhances scalability, and simplifies the overall management of the application.
