Configuration for Multi-Tenant Architecture Made Simple
Published: 3/5/2025
Allow for custom configurations at the tenant level. This can include themes, features, or specific settings that apply to each tenant’s data.
Managing environment variables for multi-tenant applications can become cumbersome, especially as the number of tenants increases or if the configuration changes frequently. If not handled well, it can lead to issues such as security risks, configuration drift, and difficulties with scaling.
Additionally, in a multi-tenant app, you’ll often deploy the same application to multiple environments (e.g., development, staging, production). For each environment, you need different set of secrets and configurations.
Managing environment variables in multi-tenant applications requires careful planning to separate tenant configurations, ensure security, and maintain scalability. Use a combination of tenant-specific prefixes, centralized configuration management, and secure storage to handle environment variables effectively across different environments and tenants.
Configry.app does the heavy-lifting and helps you effectively manage environment variables in a multi-tenant application while ensuring security, flexibility, and scalability.
