An unopinionated package to make Laravel apps tenant aware
Today we released a package to make Laravel apps tenant aware, called laravel-multitenancy. The philosophy of this package is that it should only provide the bare essentials to enable multitenancy.
The package can determine which tenant should be the current tenant for the request. It also allows you to define what should happen when switching the current tenant to another one.
It works for multitenancy projects that need to use one or multiple databases.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
