Introduction​

In this post, we will explore different strategies for building scalable multi-tenant applications in Go based on our experience building the backend for Atlas Cloud, which is part of our commercial offering.

But first, let's clarify what we mean by multi-tenant applications.

Multi-tenancy is a property of a system where a single instance serves multiple customers (tenants).

As a commercial enterprise, your goal is, of course, to have lots of customers! But while you want to serve many customers, they expect a smooth and seamless experience, as if they were the only ones using your service.

Two important promises you implicitly make to your customers are:

1. Data Isolation: Each tenant's data is isolated and secure, ensuring that one tenant cannot access another's data.
2. Performance: The application should perform well regardless of the number of tenants, ensuring that one tenant's usage does not degrade the experience for others.

Let's explore some ways in which we might fulfill these promises.

How does Go, the project, and team behind it, test go test, the Go tool's command for running tests? Does Go test go test using the go test command? In this article, we explore the evolution of how the Go team tests the Go tool (go) and discuss strategies for testing command-line tools written in Go in general.
