Multi-tenancy serves multiple customers (tenants) from single application instance. Schema-per-tenant isolates data in separate databases. Shared schema with tenant ID column partitions data within tables. Discriminator-based approach uses JPA filters. Tenant resolution uses subdomain, header, or authentication. TenantIdentifierResolver determines current tenant. Connection routing switches datasources per tenant. Spring's @TenantId or custom interceptors inject tenant context. Security ensures tenant isolation—no cross-tenant data leaks. Multi-tenancy reduces infrastructure costs while providing data isolation. Proper design balances security, performance, and maintenance. It's essential for B2B SaaS applications serving enterprise customers.
