Acts As Tennant
A Ruby on Rails gem for row-level multi-tenancy using a shared database strategy.
What is Acts As Tennant?
ActsAsTenant is a Ruby on Rails gem that implements row-level multi-tenancy, allowing a single Rails application to serve multiple tenants (like different accounts or organizations) from a shared database. It automatically scopes all database queries to the current tenant, ensuring data isolation without requiring separate databases or schemas for each tenant.
Rails developers building SaaS applications, internal tools, or any multi-tenant system where data from different customers or groups must be securely separated within a single database.
Developers choose ActsAsTenant for its seamless Rails integration, robust security against tenant leakage, and flexibility in tenant identification. It simplifies multi-tenancy without the complexity of schema-based approaches, making it ideal for shared database setups.
