multi-tenancy-patterns

multi-tenancy-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mickeyyaya/refactoring-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (5,380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design and review patterns for multi-tenant software, where one service serves several customers while keeping their data separate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing tenant isolation, shared databases, caching, tenant context, customer onboarding, or tenant removal across systems such as TypeScript, Go, and Python applications.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one customer's data or settings from being exposed to or affected by another customer's account.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

multi-tenancy-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Multi-Tenancy Patterns

Overview

Multi-tenant systems serve multiple customers (tenants) from a single deployment while keeping their data and configuration isolated. The hard part is not handling one tenant — it is ensuring that tenant A can never read, write, or affect tenant B's data, even when they share the same database, cache, and application servers.

When to use: Designing SaaS platforms; reviewing any code that queries a shared database; evaluating caching layers; building onboarding or offboarding workflows; assessing the blast radius of a bug that touches tenant data.

Quick Reference

Pattern Core Idea Primary Red Flag
Row-Level Security (RLS) Database enforces tenant filter at query time Missing tenant_id predicate, RLS policy disabled
Schema-per-Tenant Each tenant owns a dedicated PostgreSQL schema Schema name built from user input (injection risk)
DB-per-Tenant Strongest isolation; each tenant gets a separate database Connection pool exhaustion, cross-tenant migration drift
Tenant Context Propagation AsyncLocalStorage / goroutine-local store carries tenant ID through call stack Missing middleware, context lost across async boundaries
ORM Tenant Scope ORM automatically injects WHERE tenant_id = ? Global scope disabled in admin paths, scope skipped in raw queries
Tenant-Aware Caching Cache key includes tenant namespace Cache key missing tenant prefix, cross-tenant cache poisoning
Tenant Lifecycle Provision, migrate, and offboard tenants as atomic operations Schema created but migration not run, data not purged on offboard
Shared vs Isolated Cost/compliance tradeoff matrix for infrastructure sharing No documented decision; isolation level inconsistent across services

Patterns in Detail

1. Tenant Isolation Strategies

Choose an isolation model based on compliance requirements, cost targets, and operational complexity. The three canonical levels are Row-Level Security (RLS), schema-per-tenant, and database-per-tenant.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
