In the era of cloud computing, "multi-tenancy" is a very important concept. According to the definition in Baidu Encyclopedia, multi-tenant technology is a kind of software architecture technology. Simply put, it refers to providing the same or even customizable services for most clients with a single system architecture and services, and can still protect customer data in multi-tenant. In an environment where multiple users share the same application, they run on the same operating system, on the same hardware, with the same data storage mechanism. The distinction between clients is achieved during application design.
To achieve data isolation in a multi-tenant architecture, a database-level isolation method can be used, that is, a tenant independently uses a database. In this way, the system needs to connect multiple databases, which can achieve high-level data isolation and good security, but the physical hardware cost and maintenance cost are relatively high; you can also use the tenant id field to isolate tenants, that is, add in each table A field used to distinguish tenants to identify which tenant each piece of data belongs to. When querying, each statement must add this field as a filter condition.
In cloud computing, the use of multi-tenant technology can enable multiple tenants to share hardware and software resources, improve resource utilization, reduce the average infrastructure and management costs allocated to a single tenant, and at the same time realize the isolation of data, performance and behavior between tenants .
But at the same time, in order to meet the individual needs of different tenants in different scenarios, it is often supported by complex configurations. If the configuration cannot solve it, it can only be customized and developed. The continuous customized development will eventually drag the system into a quagmire. The emergence of low code has found a perfect solution for customization.
In order to deal with the difficulties of enterprises transitioning from multiple legacy systems to modernization, LeaRun first created a low-code solution to improve the maintainability, security compliance and scalability of the entire system by using low-code, so that enterprises no longer need to worry about infrastructure. , security compliance, and identity verification processes take a lot of time. Based on this low-code platform, the multi-tenant function is added, which contains components that allow rapid development and reuse. These components can also be flexibly used in the construction of other systems, laying an important foundation for the team's future innovation.
The multi-tenancy function based on the LeaRun low-code platform can support external customers and team members to log in to the site. LeaRun provides a variety of data isolation methods such as library-level isolation, tenant ID field isolation, and hybrid isolation to ensure that each user is only associated with one environment, and different users can safely access authorized data.
After entering the LeaRun low-code platform, users can add, edit, and delete tenant groups in the tenant group module, and perform global authority management on tenant group function authorization and data synchronization.
In the tenant account management module interface, you can add, edit, delete, and copy tenants, and synchronize the basic table structure, data, menus, etc. of tenants, and record logs.
After the new tenant is set, you can log in to the corresponding tenant with [tenant code@user account].
After logging in, different tenants can set up their own independent organizational structure, business database and other related data. They can model and analyze alternatives at multiple levels, and dig deep into potential opportunities to optimize costs and other situations. Data between different tenants will be isolated and will not affect each other.
The multi-tenant solution based on the LeaRun low-code platform can support and meet various management scenarios, and realize the data isolation requirements of different dimensions according to the requirements, and meet the refined management and control requirements of customers. Thanks to the reusability of the solution elements, such as user data management functions, master data structure, customer management system and data visualization, etc., can be repurposed and flexibly applied to future projects, effectively shortening the innovation time for the team. Time to accelerate the pace of enterprise digital transformation.
