Activerecord Multi Tenant

Overview

The activerecord-multi-tenant gem is a powerful tool designed for Ruby on Rails applications that require multi-tenancy support. Specifically optimized for PostgreSQL with the Citus extension, this gem enables developers to easily scale out multi-tenant applications by efficiently routing queries to appropriate database nodes. With streamlined installation and usage, it supports all Rails versions starting from 6.0 and provides a straightforward implementation process, making it accessible even for those new to multi-tenancy.

This gem simplifies the management of tenant contexts within applications, allowing for seamless operations across different tenants. It offers features such as write-only mode for handling tenant IDs and the ability to manage non-tenant-specific tables with ease, ensuring that your application can grow and adapt to various business needs without compromising on performance.
