Designing Multi-Tenant Database Topologies
Visualizing shared vs. isolated database architectures for SaaS platforms.
Designing Database Isolation
Should your SaaS use a single shared database or an isolated database-per-tenant? The topology determines your scaling strategy.
How-To: Model Isolation in the Designer
- Step 1: Use "Server" icons for your compute instances.
- Step 2: Use "Database" icons within color-coded "Text Boxes" to represent tenant silos.
- Step 3: Use "Dashed Links" for replication paths and "Solid Links" for primary queries.
