Do you actually need a multi-tenancy package?

Ever feel like a project requirement says "we need multi-tenancy," and you're not even sure what that means in your specific context?

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss how to evaluate multi-tenancy needs before committing to an architectural approach.

We break down what multi-tenancy actually means, from separate databases to custom domains and per-tenant configuration, and why the real question isn't which package to use, but whether you need one at all.

We also explore when hand-rolling a simple solution beats adopting a full package, what legal and compliance requirements can force your hand, and why this is one of those decisions that's genuinely hard to undo later.
