It intercepts requests by hostname, routes them to the correct tenant schema, and makes all ORM queries operate transparently within that schema without requiring changes to your view code. The package manages schema creation, migration routing (shared vs. tenant-specific), and provides middleware to automatically set the PostgreSQL search path on each request.\n\nYou define a tenant model (e.g., Client) and a domain model to map hostnames to tenants. When a request arrives at tenant.example.com, the middleware looks up the tenant, sets the schema, and all subsequent database operations happen in that tenant's isolated space. This approach balances simplicity\u2014minimal code changes needed\u2014with performance benefits of shared connections and buffers compared to fully separate databases.","worth_installing":"Yes. django-tenants is production-stable (Development Status 5), actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real architectural problem for SaaS applications. The single django dependency and permissive MIT license remove friction. Install if you need schema-based multitenancy on PostgreSQL; it requires Django 2+ and PostgreSQL, and you must be comfortable with PostgreSQL schema concepts."},"id":"django-tenants","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-tenants","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-tenants.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-tenants/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-05","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-tenants","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tenant support for Django using PostgreSQL schemas."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":958398,"position":4641,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.14.0"}
