ABSTRACT
Multi-tenant architectural principle for cloud applications is a relatively new principle as compared to others such as multiuser and multi-instance. It allows to share a single instance of an application among multiple tenants with a high degree of customization. In this paper, we present a collection of patterns to design a multi-tenant application such that it can manage its tenants efficiently. The patterns described here are - multi-tenant, tenant manager, tenant observability, tenant separability and tenant elasticity. Each pattern covers the different aspects of systematic tenant management.

Towards Dynamic Tenant Management for Microservice based Multi-Tenant SaaS Applications
ISEC '18: Proceedings of the 11th Innovations in Software Engineering ConferenceIn a multi-tenant cloud application, more than one heterogeneous tenants share the single instance of the application. It increases the degree of resource sharing among tenants and brings down the operational cost. In this work, we propose a ...
