It automatically injects tenant context into queries, allowing databases like Postgres+Citus to route queries efficiently to the correct shard or node without requiring separate databases or schemas per tenant.\n\nThe library provides two integration patterns: inherit from TenantModel or use TenantModelMixin with your existing Django models. It replaces standard ForeignKey with TenantForeignKey to maintain tenant relationships and includes middleware utilities to set tenant context per request. This approach scales horizontally by letting the database layer handle tenant-aware query routing rather than application-level filtering.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a specific architectural problem (shared-table multi-tenancy) that would otherwise require manual tenant filtering throughout your codebase. Install it if you are building a multi-tenant Django application on Postgres+Citus or similar distributed databases."},"id":"django-multitenant","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-multitenant","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-multitenant.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-multitenant/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-12-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-multitenant","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Django Library to Implement Multi-tenant databases"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":169585,"position":10416,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.1.1"}
