Implementation Timeline
Multi-tenancy Requirements Analysis

1-2 weeks
SportsTech & FitnessTech optimizedArchitecture Design and Model Selection
We design multi-tenancy architecture choosing right model for your needs: shared database with row-level security (cost-efficient, complex security), schema-per-tenant (good isolation, moderate cost), or database-per-tenant (best isolation, higher cost). Often hybrid approach. We document security model, data isolation, and tenant lifecycle management.
