Modeling Tenant for eduSpace
overview of tenant model in a school management Application
There're several parts to consider while designing a multi-tenant systems for schools. Intending to share some of the resources among the tenants, while also providing a considerable level of isolation between them. These are the some of the requirements and considration to pay attention to:
- How's multi-tenancy deployed on Vercel, and how to manage the tenants?
- Application customization for tenants
- How will you monitor, manage, automate, scale, and govern your Vercel environment, and how will multitenancy impact this?
- Which components of eduSpace handles tenant onboarding and management, and how should these components be designed?
- Be mindful of customers' requirements for regulatory compliance, the isolation of their data, and ensuring that you meet a specified service-level objective (SLO), like uptime or service availability.
Business to business (B2B)
eduSpace customers are other organizations. Tenant is mapped to those organizations. Customers have different divisions (team or department) and they could have presenece in different countries/regions. A single Tenant will have multiple users. These users are Teachers, Student, Parents, and Admins etc.

- Onboard new tenants
- Upgrade tenant's infrastructure
- Offboard tenants
- Deactivate and reactivate tenants
